Early in the Morning Lyrics

Early in the morning and I cant get right
Had a little date with my baby last night

[Chorus]
And that was early in the morning, early in the morning
Early in the morning and I ain't got nothin' but the blues

I went to all the places we used to go
Even went to his house but he don't live there no more

[Chorus]

I went to the lions den and he was not about
Went to his mommas house but she began to shout

[Chorus]

I went to ducky chase to get somethin' to eat
The waiter looked at me and said you sure look beat

[Chorus]

I had a lot of money when I started out
Cant find my baby and now my money's run out

[Chorus; x3]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
