I been a-walkin'
Walkin' in the moonlight
Trippin' in the starlight
Lord and I'm feelin' down
Walkin' in the shadows
Sneakin' down a side road
Come early mornin'
I'll be there on the edge of town
I was a-thinkin'
Thinkin' 'bout a good thing
Thinkin' 'bout a sweet gleam
Um in my honey's eyes
And I was a-sinkin'
Feelin' kinda lonesome
Come early morning
I'll be home at my honey's side
I have drifted
up across the mountain
And I have stumbled
down the other side
And I've been tempted
Tried and troubled
Come early morning
I'll be home and satisfied
She give me little lovin'
Give me little sunshine
Make me have a good time
Lord when I'm feelin' blue
I couldn't refuse her
Well I couldn't misuse her
Come early mornin'
I'll be home with my honeydew
I have drifted
up across the mountains
And I have stumbled
down the other side
I've been tempted
Tried and troubled
Come early mornin'
I'll be home and satisfied
