[ Featuring Ramsey Lewis ]
Early in the morning
And I can't get right
Had a little date with my baby last night
Now it's early in the morning
Yes, it's early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't, I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I went to all the places
That we used to go
I went to his house, but
He don't live there anymore
And it's early, early in the a.m
Yes, it's early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't, I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I went to jenny lou's
To get something to eat
The waitress looked at me
And said Lorez you sure look beat'
I said it's early, early in the morning
It's still early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't, ain't got nothin' but the blues
I had a lot of money
When I started out
But I couldn't find my baby now my money has run out
Still it's early, early, early in the morning
Yes, it's early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't, I ain't got nothin' but the blues
