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
