Louis Jordan
Early In The Mornin’
'Ey Pedro, where is your little?

Early in the mornin' and I can't get right
Had a little date with my baby last night
Now it's early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin' and I ain't got nothin' but the blues

I went to all the places where we used to go
Even went to her house, but she don't live there no more
Now it's early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin' and I ain't got nothin' but the blues

Went to see her girlfriend, but she was out
Knocked on her mother's door and she began to shout
"Get away from there, boy"
It's early in the mornin'
Woo, in the mornin'
It's early in the mornin' and I ain't got nothin' but the blues

[Instrumental Break]

I went to Jenny Lou's to get somethin' to eat
The waitress looked at me and said "Pops, you sure look beat"
It's early in the mornin'
Woo, in the mornin'
It's early in the mornin' and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I had a lot of money when I started out
Couldn't find my baby, now my money's run out
Now it's early in the morning'
Woo, in the mornin'
It's early in the mornin' and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
