Early in the morning and I can't get right, now
Had a little date with my baby last night, now
And it's early in the morning early in the morning
I know it's early in the morning early in the morning
Early in the morning early in the morning
Hey, I ain't got nothin' but the blues 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
Well it's early in the morning early in the morning
And I know it's early in the morning, yeah early in the morning
Early in the morning, yeah early in the morning
I ain't got nothin' but the blues blues
I went to her girlfriends house, but she was out
I knocked on her fathers door and he began to shout, Get away from here boy
Yes, early in the morning early in the morning
I know it's early in the morning early in the morning
Early in the morning, yeah early in the morning
I ain't got nothin' but the blues blues
I went to Dukie Chance's to get something to eat
The waitress looked at me and said, Ray, you sure look beat
Now it's early in the morning early in the morning
I told 'em it was in the morning, now early in the morning
Yeah, early in the morning early in the morning
Yeah, I ain't got nothin' but the blues blues
I had a lot of money when I started out
Can't find my baby now my money run out, now
Yeah, early in the morning early in the morning
Whoa, it's early in the morning early in the morning
Yeah, early in the morning early in the morning
Yeah, I ain't got nothin' but the blues blues
Yeah, early in the morning early in the morning, yeah
I ain't got nothin' but the blues, now
