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 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
