Early in the morning
And I can't get right
Had a little date
With my baby last night
Now, it's early in the morning
Ooh, in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues
I went to all the places
That we used to go
Went to his house
But he don't live there no more
Now, it's early in the morning
Ooh, in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues
I went to his best friend house
But he was out
I knocked on her mother's door
She began to shout
[Incomprehensible]
Early in the morning
Ooh, in the morning
Yeah, early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues
Went to Dougie Chase
To get something to eat
The waitress looked at me
Said, Ma, you look beat
Now, it's early in the morning
Ooh, in the morning
Yeah, it's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues
Hey, I had a lot of money
When I started out
Couldn't find my baby
Now my money's run out
Now, it's early in the morning
Ooh, in the morning
Yeah, it's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues
Early in the morning
Early in the morning
Ooh, early in the morning
Yeah, early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing but the blues
