You know I love getting up in the morning
But the letter said goodbye
I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
I sing, I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
I.O. I.0.
I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O.
Of a girl who stood beside me
But she went back down the river
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing
All the morning birds that sing above
When the rights I did were wrong
Just when I thought I could be strong
I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.0.
And my nights to reason why
Just when I thought I could be strong
When the sun first strikes the trees
Of a girl I had to hold
I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
I sing, I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
Still bring back memories
Now my mornings are for wond'ring
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing
Why a stranger comes to steal the love
But she went back down the river
She never told me why she left me
