Now when a little girl becomin’ twelve years old
Beginnin’ to think she’s grown
Well you can never catch that kinda, little girl at home
But ya have to go down early in the mornin’
Baby ’bout the break of day
Now ya oughta see me grab the pillow
Where my baby used to lay
Now that I’ve got a new woman
Her name is Miss Kate
She told me to come to the house this mornin’
I got there about half past eight
She says, «I told you come early in the mornin’ «
Baby ’bout the break of day
Now you oughta see me grab the pillow
Where my baby used to lay
