It was early in the morning
I heard the rooster crow for day
It was early in the morning
I heard the rooster crow for day
I looked out of my window
And saw my baby walk away
I cried, Lord, please, stop him
I won't never, never bug him no more
I cried, Lord, please, stop him
I won't never bug him no more
I hollered out of my window
Come back baby, please, don't go
I know he heard me callin'
He looked back and waved his hand
I know he heard me callin'
'Cause he looked back and waved his hand
Heard him tell his mother
That's one no-good dame
