Early in the morning and I cant get right
Had a little date with my baby last night
[Chorus]
And that was early in the morning, early in the morning
Early in the morning and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I went to all the places we used to go
Even went to his house but he don't live there no more
[Chorus]
I went to the lions den and he was not about
Went to his mommas house but she began to shout
[Chorus]
I went to ducky chase to get somethin' to eat
The waiter looked at me and said you sure look beat
[Chorus]
I had a lot of money when I started out
Cant find my baby and now my money's run out
[Chorus; x3]
