Early One Morning - Little Richard, The Upsetters

Early one morning

Just as the sun was rising

I heard a maid sing

In the valley below

O, don’t deceive me

O, never leave me

How could you use

A poor maiden so?

Gay is the garland

And fresh are the roses

Ive culled from the garden

To place upon thy brow

Remember the vows

That you made to your Mary

Remember the bower

Where you vowed to be true

Thus sang the poor maiden

Her sorrows bewailling

Thus sang the poor maid

In the valley bellow
