Early In The Morning.m4a
B. B. King & Van Morrison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had a little date with my baby last night
Now it's early in the morning (Early in the morning)
Well it's early in the morning (Early in the morning)
Now it's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues
Went to all the places where we used to go
Now it's early in the morning (Early in the morning)
Well it's early in the morning (Early in the morning)
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues
Went to your friend's house but she was out
Knock on your father's door and he began to shout Get out there boy
Early in the morning (Early in the morning)
Early in the morning (Early in the morning)
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues
Went to Dooky Chase to get something to eat
Waiter looked at me and said 'You sure look beat'
Now it's early in the morning (Early in the morning)
Early in the morning (Early in the morning)
Well it's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues
Well it's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues
Well it's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues
The lyrics to "Early in the Morning" speak to the aftermath of a failed date with the singer's partner. The song begins with the singer waking up after the date and feeling unsatisfied with how things went. They sing, "Early in the morning and I can't get right, had a little date with my baby last night." However, it quickly becomes apparent that not only was the date not successful, but the singer's partner may have left them altogether as they visit old haunts and homes that now no longer house their memories. The song ultimately concludes with the singer feeling like they have nothing but the blues.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know,
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

@appulse
Fun fact : he actually sang "I know" 26 times because he realized that he forgot to write a verse during the recording. When it was over, he wanted to quickly write one, but everybody in the studio told him to keep it. 😉

Another fun fact, listen to the last verse. Bill starts to sing "And she's always gone too long", but instantly catches his mistake and smoothly changes to "this house just ain't no home."
