Beginnin' to think she's grown
 Well you can never catch that kinda, little girl at home
 But ya have to go down early in the mornin'
 Baby 'bout the break of day
 Now ya oughta see me grab the pillow
 Where my baby used to lay

 Now that I've got a new woman
 Her name is Miss Kate
 She told me to come to the house this mornin'
 I got there about half past eight
 She says, "I told you come early in the mornin' "
 Baby 'bout the break of day
 Now you oughta see me grab the pillow
 Where my baby used to lay

 I said, "Look-a-here woman, you fool with too many men,
 I can't never come to see you in the evenin',
 I have to, come see you when I can"
 You tell come early in the mornin'
 Baby 'bout the break of day
 Now you oughta see me grab the pillow
 Where my baby used to lay

 Well I said, "Look-a-here woman,
 I ain't gonna fool around wit' you no mo',
 I know you don't love me, you out an 'round Mister So an So
 You tell me, come early in the mornin'
 Baby 'bout the break of day
 Now you oughta see me grab the pillow
 Where my baby used to lay
