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 mornin', I'll be home at my honey's side I have drifted up across the mountain I have stumbled down the other side And I've been tempted, tried, and troubled Come early mornin', I'll be home and satisfied ♪ She give me little lovin' Gave 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 I have stumbled down the other side I've been tempted, tried, and troubled Come early mornin', I'll be home and satisfied
