Well, it was early in the morning   When my blues come falling down   I want to tell you, it was early in the morning now   When my blues come falling down      Well, you know, you know, it felt so, so bad   When my baby, yeah, she's been around      Whoa, it was but a while after midnight   When the rooster crowed for day   Whoa, it was but a while after midnight   When that rooster began to crow for day      Well, I been mistreating my baby   That's about a crime that I need to pay      Come back, baby   Whoa, please don't go   I said, come back, baby   Come on, darling, please don't go      Well, you know the way I love you rider   More than you ever know      Yes Lord, please stop her   I won't get drunk no more   Whoa Lord, please stop her now   I want to tell you that I won't drunk no more      Well, you know she put me out in the morning   She drive this poor boy from her door
