I woke up this mornin'
Clock was strikin' four
I woke up this mornin'
My clock was strikin' four
I thought about my baby
She's knockin' on my door

Hey tell me lover, 
What more can daddy do?
You tell me baby
What more can daddy do?
An' I tried so hard
To get along with you

I never loved 'an (hon' ??) 
Hope I never will
I ain't ever loved darlin' 
Hope I never will
I ain't never loved an' (??)
I hope I never will

And there's a brown skinned gal, she's
Rollin' 'cross my mind
And there's a brown skinned gal, she's 
Rollin' 'cross my mind
And she keeps me worried
Bothered all the time

I'm gonna sing this verse, and I 
Ain't gonna sing no more
Might sing this verse, and I 
Ain't gonna sing no more
(I ain't ??) at home 
My clock was strikin' 4

Goodbye my darling
Honey and fare you well
Goodbye my darling 
Honey and fare you well
Goodbye my babe
Honey and fare you well
