[Verse 1]
It was early one morning, round about 4
Baby’s like an insect, get ready to go
[Hook]
In the morning time
In the morning time
She’s been drinking that whiskey
Cheap bear and a no good wine
[Verse 2]
She stumbled down the hall, lumped on the bed
Reached for the bottle and fell up for dead
[Hook]
In the morning time
In the morning time
She’s been drinking that whiskey
Cheap bear and a no good wine
[Verse 3]
She said daddy daddy daddy, can’t you see
Somebody tried to miss sweet, poor me
[Hook]
In the morning time
In the morning time
She’s been drinking that whiskey
Cheap bear and a no good wine
Sha-be-do-be-do-wah, wah wah wah
Sha-be-do-be-do-wah, wah wah wah
Sha-be-do-be-do-wah, wah wah wah wah
[Verse 4]
She had whiskey at the counter. wine at the bar
?, wrecked my new car
[Hook]
In the morning time
In the morning time
She’s been drinking that whiskey
Cheap bear and a no good wine
[Verse 5]
Well she act real frisky, held me real tight
Told me daddy daddy, everything is alright
[Hook]
In the morning time
In the morning time
She’s been drinking that whiskey
Cheap bear and a no good wine
