It was early in the mo'nin, I heard the rooster crow
for days
It was early in the mo'nin, I heard the rooster crow
for days
I looked out my window and saw my baby walk away
I thought Lord, please stop her, ain't gonna get drunk
no mo'
I thought Lord, please stop her, ain't gonna get drunk
no mo'
I hollered out my window, "Come back baby please don't
go"
I know she heard me callin', she looked back and waved
her hand
I know she heard me callin', she looked back and waved
her hand
I could hear her tell her mother, "That's one no good
man!"
Well, I watched my baby leave, her mother had her by
the hand
Well, I watched my baby leave, her mother had her by
the hand
I'd give anything I have, just to see my little girl
again
