Well you're gonna miss me
Early in the morning, one of these days

Oh Yeah

Well, you're gonna want me
Early in the morning
When I'm away

Hey, hey, Don't ya know

Yes, you'll be sorry for the times I cried
You'll be sorry for the times you lied
Well, you're gonna miss me
Early in the morning, one of these days

Well, ya know a rolling stone, (rolling stone)
Don't gather no moss (gather no moss)
And ya cross your bridge (cross your bridge)
When it's time to cross (time to cross)
Well, ya broke my heart (broke my heart)
When ya said goodbye (said goodbye)
Now the milk is spilt but, you're gonna cry

Yeah, early in the morning
You're gonna know,
That I was right

Oh, yeah
Yeah

Early in the morning
When there's nobody
To hold you tight
Oh, oh, oh

Well, you're gonna want me, want me bad
You're gonna miss, the best man you ever had
Yes, you're gonna miss me
You're gonna want me
One of these days

Oh, yeah

Well, you're gonna want me, want me bad
You're gonna miss, the best man you ever had
Yes, you're gonna want me




You're gonna miss me
One of these days

Overall Meaning

The song "Early in the Morning" by Buddy Holly is a true classic that perfectly blends rock and roll with the blues. The lyrics speak of a lover who has left their partner, warning them that they will regret their decision. The singer is confident that their ex-lover will come to their senses and realize what they've lost. The opening line, "Well, you're gonna miss me early in the morning, one of these days" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is not angry, but rather resigned to the fact that the person they loved made a mistake and will eventually regret it.


Throughout the song, the singer lays out the reasons why their lover will come back to them. They assure them that they will be sorry for the times they lied and for hurting them. Even further, the singer is certain that their ex-lover will miss them when they are alone and have no one to hold them tight. The lyrics convey a sense of confidence from the singer, they have processed the break-up and seem to be moving on. The song is a reminder that what goes around comes around, and that people get what they deserve eventually.
