Early In The Morning (04-23-47) - Louis Jordan

Early in the mornin' and I can’t get right

Had a little date with my baby last night

Now it’s early in the mornin'

Early in the mornin'

Early in the mornin' and I ain’t got nothin' but the blues

I went to all the places where we used to go

Even went to her house, but she don’t live there no more

Now it’s early in the mornin'

Early in the mornin'

Early in the mornin' and I ain’t got nothin' but the blues

Went to see her girlfriend, but she was out

Knocked on her mother’s door and she began to shout

«Get away from there, boy»

It’s early in the mornin'

Woo, in the mornin'

It’s early in the mornin' and I ain’t got nothin' but the blues

I went to Jenny Lou’s to get somethin' to eat

The waitress looked at me and said «Pops, you sure look beat»

It’s early in the mornin'

Woo, in the mornin'

It’s early in the mornin' and I ain’t got nothin' but the blues

I had a lot of money when I started out

Couldn’t find my baby, now my money’s run out

Now it’s early in the morning'

Woo, in the mornin'

It’s early in the mornin' and I ain’t got nothin' but the blues
