I Got Up In The Mornin, Had To Get Up So Soon Lyrics

Yes, I got up this mornin', had to get up *real* soon. Yes, I got up this mornin', had to get up *real* soon. *Till* I couldn't see nothin', honey, but the stars and moon. Yes, I went to the depot and I fold my arms. Yes, I went to the depot and I fold my arms. It was to late to holler when the train was gone. I was a poor boy a long ways from home. I was a poor boy good long ways from home. Couldn't get nobody *just* to go on my bond. I'm gonna write my letter, gon' tell Mary Lou. I'm gonna write my letter, gon' tell Mary Lou. Babe, I want you to meet me on Texas Avenue. It's two places, people, she don't 'low me to go. It's two places, people, she don't 'low me to go. On Texas Avenue, in that moving picture show. When I leave her walking, *pin crepe* on this door. When I leave her walking, *pin crepe* on this door. I may not be dead, but I ain't comin' back here no more.
