Early in the morning and I can't get right
I missed a little date with my baby last night
Now it's 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 where we used to go
Even went to her house but she don't live there no more
Now it's early in the morning
Early morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I tried to reach her girlfriend but she was out
I knocked on her mother's door and she began to shout
It's too early in the morning
Early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I went to a breakfast joint to get me something to eat
The waitress looked at me and said: "You sure look beat"
I told her it's early in the morning
Oh the morning
It's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' 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
So early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues
