I.O. I. I. I. I. I. I. O. I. O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O.

I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.



You know I love getting up in the morning

When the sun first strikes the trees

All the morning birds that sing above

Still bring back memories

Of a girl who stood beside me

When the rights I did were wrong

But she went back down the river

Just when I thought I could be strong

When I thought I could be strong, so I sing



I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.



She never told me why she left me

But the letter say goodbye

Now my mornings are for wond'ring

And my nights to reason why

Why a stranger comes to steal the love

Of a girl I had to hold

But she went back down the river

Just when I thought I could be strong

When I thought I could be strong, so I sing



I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.

I sing, I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.

I sing, I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.

I.O. I.O.

I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
