Text: Kingston Trio. Early in the Mornin'.

I remember grandpa telling me
That I was born as the sun
Was comin' up early in the mornin'
Told me I was born early in the mornin'

When you lift your eyes and see the sun
A-risin' on the far horizon early in the mornin'

It was early in the day
When I set out to roam
Went to seek my fortune far away from home
I set out to roam far away from home

When you lift your eyes and see the sun
A-risin' on the far horizon early in the mornin'

But today when I awoke
I missed my darlin' so
Gotta have her by my side forever more I know
Need my darlin' so, evermore I know

When you lift your eyes and see the sun
A-risin' on the far horizon early in the mornin'

So tomorrow I'll be leavin' at the break of day
Gonna hurry to my love and there I'll always stay
At the break of day
There I'll always stay

When you lift your eyes and see the sun
A-risin' on the far horizon early in the mornin'
