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 morning I'll be there on the edge of town
I was a-thinkin', thinkin' bout a good thing
Thinkin' bout a sweet dream, mmm, in my honey's eyes
And I was a-sinkin', feelin' kind of lonesome
Come early morning I'll be home at my honey's side
I have drifted up across the mountain
And I have stumbled down the other side
And I've been tempted, tried and troubled
Come early morning I'll be home and satisfied
She give me little lovin', give 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 morning 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 morning I'll be home and satisfied
