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 magic 
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 
doggone 
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-till 
the sun was shinin' bright, ohh no
