I 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 ‘bout a good thing

Thinking bout 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



CHORUS:

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
