It was an early morning yesterday
 I was up before the dawn
 And I really have enjoyed my stay
 But I must be moving on

 Like a king without a castle
 Like a queen without a throne
 I'm an early morning lover
 And I must be moving on

 Now I believe in what you say
 Is the undisputed truth
 But I have to have things my own way
 To keep me in my youth

 Like a ship without an achor
 Like a slave without a chain
 Just the thought of those sweet ladies
 Sends a shiver through my veins

 And I will go on shining
 Shining like brand new
 I'll never look behind me
 My troubles will be few

 Goodbye strange it's been nice
 Hope you find your paradise
 Tried to see your point of view
 Hope your dreams will all come true
 Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
 Will we ever meet again
 Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
 Come tomorrow, feel no pain

 Now some they do and some they don't
 And some you just can't tell
 And some they will and some they won't
 With some it's just as well

 You can laugh at my behavior
 That'll never bother me
 Say the devil is my savior
 But I don't pay no heed

 And I will go on shining
 Shining like brand new
 I'll never look behind me
 My troubles will be few
 Goodbye stranger it's been nice etc
