I've been walking walking in the moonlight

Tripping in the starlight Lord and I'm feeling down

Walking in the shadows sneaking down a side road

Come early morning I'll be there on the edge of town

I was a thinking thinking about a good thing

Thinking about a sweet dream in my honey's eyes

And I was a sinking feeling 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 loving gives me little sunshine

Makes me have a good time Lord when I'm feeling' 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

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
