come early morning

i been a walkin'

walkin' in the moonlight

trippin' in the starlight

lord

and i'm feelin' down

walkin' in the shadows

sneakin' down a side road

come early mornin' i'll be there on the edge of town

i was a thinkin'

thinkin' bout a good thing

thinkin' bout a sweet gleam

uum

in my honey's eyes

and i was a-sinkin'

feelin' kinda lonesome

come early morning i'll be home at my honey's side

i have drifted up across the mountain

and i have stumbled down the other side

and i've been tempted

tried and troubled

come early morning i'll be home and satisfied

she give me little lovin'

give me little sunshine

make me have a good time

lord

when i'm feelin' blue

i couldn't refuse her

well i couldn't misuse her

come early mornin' i'll be home

with my honeydew

i have drifted up across the mountains

i have stumbled down the other side

i've been tempted

tried and troubled

come early mornin' i'll be home

and satisfied.
