i get so weary every time the sun goes down
i get so weary in the evening when the sun goes down
i get so lonesome when my baby's not around
when i go to bed at night
and the birds began to call
when i go to bed at night
and the birds began to call
i am here so sad and lonely for my baby
and that ain't all
when i get up in the morning just before the break of day
oh
i get up in the morning just before the break of day
thinking about my baby
but i know she's on her way
