I remember Grandpa telling me that I was born as the sun was comin' up early in the morn.

Told me I was born early in the morn.



Chorus:

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.



(Chorus)



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.



(Chorus)



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.



(Chorus)
