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 roads
Come early morning I'll be there on the edge of town
I was a thinking, thinking about 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
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
Gimme a little loving, gimme a little sunshine
Makes me have a good time, lord when I'm feeling' blue
I couldn't refuse him, well I couldn't misuse him
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
