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
