Now, when a girl reach the age of eighteen
She begin to think she grown
And that's the kind of gal
That you don't ever keep at home

She said, "Come early in the morning
Maybe by the break of day"
Well, you ought to see me hug that pillow
Where my baby used to lay

Oh, it was one drink of wine, ooh
And two drinks of gin, yeah
That cute little gal
She's got me in the shape that I'm in

She said, "Come early in the morning
Maybe by the break of day"
Well, you ought to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay

Well, I passed by that juke joint
I peeped all through the door
She was doing the boogie-woogie bop
In the middle of the floor

She said, "Come early in the morning
Maybe by the break of day", yeah
Well, you ought to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay

Well, I got a little girl
Her name's Miss Mary Ann
If I can't come and see you in the morning, baby
Please tell me when I can

She said, "Come early in the morning
Maybe by the break of day"
Well, you ought to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay
