I been a-walkin, walkin in the moonlight
Trippin in the starlight, Lord, and Im feelin down
Walkin in the shadows, sneakin down a side road
Come early mornin, Ill be there on the edge of town
I was a-thinkin, thinkin bout a good thing
Thinkin bout a sweet gleam, um, in my honeys eyes
And I was a-sinkin, feelin kinda lonesome
Come early mornin, Ill be home at my honeys side
I have drifted up across the mountain
I have stumbled down the other side
And Ive been tempted, tried, and troubled
Come early mornin, Ill be home and satisfied
She give me little lovin
Gave me little sunshine
Make me have a good time, Lord
When Im feelin blue
I couldnt refuse her
Well, I couldnt misuse her
Come early mornin, Ill be home
With my honeydew
I have drifted up across the mountains
I have stumbled down the other side
Ive been tempted, tried, and troubled
Come early mornin, Ill be home and satisfied
