Well, it's early in the morn –in the morning, baby
 When I rise, Lordy mama
 Well, it's early every morning a-baby
 When I rise well-a well-a
 It's early in the morning, baby
 When I rise, Lordy baby
 You have-, it's I have misery, Berta,
 Wa, in my right side
 Well-a, in a my right side, Lordy baby-
 R-in-a my right side, Lordy, sugar.
 Well, it's I have a misery, Berta,
 R-in-a my right side, well-a.
 Well-a, it's-a, Lordy,
 Ro-Lordy-Berta,
 Well, it's Lord (you keep a-talkin'), babe,

 Until his pecker got sure, well-a.
