Early in the mornin'

I remember Grandpa telling me that I was born as the sun was
comin' up early in the morn.
Told me I was born early in the morn.

Chorus:
When you lift your eyes and see the sun a-risin' on the far
horizon early in the mornin'.

It was early in the day when I set out to roam. Went to seek my
fortune far away from home.
I set out to roam far away from home.

(Chorus)

But today when I awoke I missed my darlin' so. Gotta have her by
my side forever more I know.
Need my darlin' so. Evermore I know.

(Chorus)

So tomorrow I'll be leavin' at the break of day. Gonna hurry to
my love and there I'll always stay.
At the break of day. There I'll always stay.

(Chorus)
