Early One Morning - Re-Recording - Elmore James

Oh yeah

It was early one morning, I was, on my way to school

Early one morning, I was, on my way to school

I met a magic1 woman, and she broke my teacher’s rule

I’m in love with that woman, before I learn to call her name

I’m in love with that woman, before I learn to call her name

The way you treat me, is doggone2 insane, oh yeah

Now why don’t you tell me baby, honey where you stayed last night

Yes, tell me baby, honey where you stayed last night

You didn’t come home, darling un-till3 the sun was shinin' bright, ohh no

Notes 1,2 and 3 are suggestions by Robert Walpole from Hastings, England,

many thanks to him.

Note 1: magic, instead of magic, «married»

Note 2: doggone, instead of doggone, «gonna drive poor me»

I’m not sure about the underlined part in the second verse

Hear the soundclip, please mail me if you think you know the word (s)

Note 3, darling un-till, instaed of just «un-till»
