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 where we used to go
I went to our house but she 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 your girlfriend's house but she was out
I knocked on her mother's door and she began to shout
"Get away, mad boy"

Yes, early in the morning
Ooh, in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues

I went to [Incomprehensible] to get something to eat
The waitress looked at me and said
"Pops, you sure look beat"

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 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
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues

In the morning
Yeah, so early in the morning
Come back to me, baby
In the morning
Early in the morning
Come back to me, baby
