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)
