It's early in the morning and I can't get right   'Cause I had a little date with my baby last night      Now it's early in the morning   It's early in the morning   It's early in the morning   And I ain't got nothin' but the blues      I went to all the places where we used to go   I went to her house but she don't live there no more      And it's early in the morning   It's early in the morning   It's early in the morning   And I ain't got nothin' but the blues      I went to her girlfriend's house, but she was out   I knocked on her door and her mother started to shout   Get away from here      Too early in the morning   It's early in the morning   It's early in the morning   And I ain't got nothin' but the blues      Went to Jenny Lou's to get something to eat   The waitress looked at me, she said, B., you sure look beat      It's early in the morning, baby   Early in the morning   It's early in the morning   And I ain't got nothin' but the blues      Had a lot of money when I first started out   I couldn't find my baby, now my money's run out      Now it's early in the morning   It's early in the morning   It's early in the morning   And I ain't got nothin' but the blues   It's early in the morning   I ain't got nothin' but the blues
