You know I love getting up in the morning when the sun first strikes the treesAll the morning birds that sing above still bring back memoriesOf 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 strongWhen I thought I could be strong, so I sing

I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, OI, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O

She never told me why she left me, but the letter said goodbyeNow my mornings are for wondering and my nights to reason whyWhy 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 strongWhen I thought I could be strong, so I sing

I, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O, I singI, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O, I singI, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, OI, O, I-I-I-I-I, I, O, I, O
