I O I I I I I I O I O I O I I I I I I O I O I O I I I I I I O

I O I O I I I I I I O I O

You know I love getting up in the morning

When the sun first strikes the trees

All the morning birds that sing above

Still bring back memories

Of a girl who stood beside me

When the rights I did were wrong

But she went back down the river

Just when I thought I could be strong

When I thought I could be strong so I sing

I O I I I I I I O I O I O I I I I I I O I O

She never told me why she left me

But the letter say goodbye

Now my mornings are for wond'ring

And my nights to reason why

Why a stranger comes to steal the love

Of a girl I had to hold

But she went back down the river

Just when I thought I could be strong

When I thought I could be strong so I sing

I O I I I I I I O I O

I sing I O I I I I I I O I O

I sing I O I I I I I I O I O

I O I O

I O I I I I I I O I O I O I I I I I I O I O I O I I I I I I O I
