Lyrics:

(B. Arnold, arr. by G. Johnson)
I said early in the morning, 'bout the break of day
That's when my baby went away
She said, 'Cryin' and pleading will do no good.'
I said, 'Come back baby, I wish you would.'
You know early in the morning or late at night
She can make a man feel just right
Stayin' out 'til the break of day
That's what drove my baby away
I said, 'Come on baby
Give me one more chance
To hold you in my arms
And make romance.'
She said, 'Cryin' and pleading will do no good.'
Come back baby, I wish you would
Come back baby, I wish you would
Come on baby, what ya tryin' to do?
Tryin' to love me and some other man too
Come on baby, give me one more chance
To hold you in my arms and make romance

Stayin' out all night long
Drove my baby away from home
She said, 'Cryin' and pleading will do no good.'
I said, 'Come back baby, I wish you would.'
I said, 'Come back baby, I wish you would.'
Come back baby, I wish you would
