And I have stumbled down the other side
I was a thinkin', thinkin' 'bout a good thing
And I was a sinkin', feelin' kind of lonesome
Thinkin' bout a sweet gleam, hmm, in my honey's eyes
Come early mornin', I'll be home and satisfied
I have drifted up across the mountain
She gave me little lovin', gave me little sunshine
And I've been tempted, tried and troubled
Come early mornin', I'll be there on the edge of town
I couldn't refuse her, well, I couldn't misuse her
I've been tempted, tried and troubled
Come early mornin', I'll be home at my honey's side
I have drifted up across the mountain
And I have stumbled down the other side
Come early mornin', I'll be home with my honey dew
Make me have a good time, Lord, when I'm feelin' blue
Walkin' in the shadows, sneakin' down a side road
