Come Early Morning
Don Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tripping in the starlight, Lord and I'm feeling down
Walking in the shadows, sneaking down a side road
Come early morning I'll be there on the edge of town
I was a thinking, thinking about a good thing
Thinking bout a sweet dream, in my honey's eyes
And I was a sinking', feeling kind of lonesome
Come early morning I'll be home at my honey's side
I have drifted up across the mountain
And I have stumbled down the other side
And I've been tempted, tried and troubled
Come early morning I'll be home and satisfied
She give me little loving, gives me little sunshine
Makes me have a good time, Lord when I'm feeling' blue
I couldn't refuse her, well I couldn't misuse her
Come early morning I'll be home with my honey dew

I been walking, walking in the moonlight
I have been wandering around at night, under the light of the moon
Tripping in the starlight, Lord and I'm feeling down
I am sad and lost, while walking aimlessly under the stars
Walking in the shadows, sneaking down a side road
I am trying to keep a low profile, walking on a secluded path
Come early morning I'll be there on the edge of town
By dawn, I will be on the outskirts of the town
I was a thinking, thinking about a good thing
I was lost in thought, pondering over something positive
Thinking bout a sweet dream, in my honey's eyes
I was dreaming about my beloved, and the sweet look in her eyes
And I was a sinking', feeling kind of lonesome
I started feeling lonely and downhearted
Come early morning I'll be home at my honey's side
But soon, I will be with my love by morning
I have drifted up across the mountain
I have wandered across the mountains
And I have stumbled down the other side
And I have also struggled while coming down the other side
And I've been tempted, tried and troubled
I have been tested and challenged by life
Come early morning I'll be home and satisfied
But I am sure that I will reach home and find contentment by morning
She give me little loving, gives me little sunshine
My beloved gives me affection and happiness
Makes me have a good time, Lord when I'm feeling' blue
She is my source of joy, especially when I am feeling sad
I couldn't refuse her, well I couldn't misuse her
I cannot turn down her love, nor can I take advantage of her
Come early morning I'll be home with my honey dew
And soon, I will be back home, with my sweet love

All I want to say is this Don Williams is undoubtedly one of the greatest country Legends of all time I know every song he ever seen and even some of the songs that he just borrowed from other entertainers and now he's up there on that beautiful Grand Ole Opry stage in heaven and he's entertaining God himself and God is enjoying himself clapping his hands tapping his feet saying now this is what music is all about this is just my theory you do not need young women walking around with almost nothing on in a country music video I can see talking about hard life you know songs that make you cry makes the tears start while you drink your beer or your shot of whiskey a good old tearjerker song Those Were the great videos but nowadays guys like Don Williams and all the other greats they never get played on TV or the radio oh I see now days in videos or people were women or almost naked then you see subject matter in music videos on Country Music Television that should have close to an MA rating give me back my country I don't have a channel on TV I'll stick with YouTube with all the great Legends cuz this is country music
