Well I been walkin' a walkin' in the moonlight
Trippin' in the starlight Lord and I'm feelin' down
Walkin' in the shadows sneakin' down the sideroad
Come early morning I'll be there on the edge of town

I was a thinking thinking bout a good thing
Thinking bout a sweet gleam oh in my honey's eyes
And I was a sinking feelin' kinda lonesome
Come early morning I'll be home by my honey's side

And I have drifted up across the mountains
I have stumbled down the other side
And I've been tempted tried and troubled Lord
Come early morning I'll be home and satisfied

She give me little lovin' give me little sunshine
Make me have a good time oh when I'm feeling blue
I couldn't refuse her well I couldn't misuse her
Come early morning I'll be home with my honey dew

And I have drifted up across the mountains
I have stumbled down the other side
And I've been tempted tried and troubled Lord
Come early morning I'll be home and satisfied

And I have drifted up across the mountains
I have stumbled down the other side
And I've been tempted tried and troubled Lord
Come early morning I'll be home and satisfied

Come early morning I'll be home by my honey's side
Yes I will
