I been walkin', walkin' in the moonlight
Trippin' in the starlight, Lord, and I'm feelin' down
Walkin' in the shadows, sneakin' down a side road
Come early mornin', I'll be there on the edge of town
I was a-thinkin', thinkin' 'bout a good thing
Thinkin' 'bout a sweet gleam, mm, in my honey's eyes
And I was a-sinkin', feelin' kind of lonesome
Come early mornin', I'll be home at my honey's side
I have drifted up across the mountain
I have stumbled down the other side
And I've been tempted, tried and troubled
Come early mornin', I'll be home and satisfied
She gave me little lovin', gave me little sunshine
Make me have a good time, Lord, when I'm feelin' blue
I couldn't refuse her, well, I couldn't misuse her
Come early mornin', I'll be home with my honey dew
I have drifted up across the mountain
I have stumbled down the other side
I've been tempted, tried and troubled
Come early mornin', I'll be home and satisfied
