| It's early in the morning and I can't get right | |
| 'Cause I had a little date with my baby last night | |
| Now it's early in the morning | |
| It's early in the morning | |
| It's early in the morning | |
| And I ain't got nothin' but the blues | |
| I went to all the places where we used to go | |
| I went to her house but she don't live there no more | |
| And it's early in the morning | |
| It's early in the morning | |
| It's early in the morning | |
| And I ain't got nothin' but the blues | |
| I went to her girlfriend? house, but she was out | |
| I knocked on her door and her mother started to shout | |
| "Get away from here!" | |
| Too early in the morning | |
| It's early in the morning | |
| It's early in the morning | |
| And I ain't got nothin' but the blues | |
| Went to Jenny Lou's to get something to eat | |
| The waitress looked at me, she said, "B., you sure look beat" | |
| It's early in the morning, baby | |
| Early in the morning | |
| It's early in the morning | |
| And I ain't got nothin' but the blues | |
| Had a lot of money when I first started out | |
| I couldn't find my baby, now my money's run out | |
| Now it's early in the morning | |
| It's early in the morning | |
| It's early in the morning | |
| And I ain't got nothin' but the blues | |
| It's early in the morning | |
| I ain't got nothin' but the blues |
