Well, early this morning, my baby made me sore
Well, early this morning, my baby made me sore
Said I'm going away to leave you, not coming back here any more

Oh tell me, pretty baby, where did you stay last night
Oh tell me, pretty baby, where did you stay last night
Said it ain't none of your business, daddy since I treat you right

Now, if you see me sleeping, don't you think I'm drunk
If you see me sleeping, don't you think I'm drunk
Got one hand on my pistol, one on your travellin' trunk

Because I love you, baby, believe me it ain't no lie
I love you, pretty baby, believe me it ain't no lie
But the day you try to quit me, oh that's the day you die

Oh, early this morning, my baby made me sore
Oh, early this morning, my baby made me sore
Said I'm going away to leave you, ain't coming back no more
