Lyrics:

early one monday morning
when my baby walked away
early one monday morning
when my baby walked away

I loocked out the window
I saw her walking down the street

I know you heard me calling, calling
she looked back and waved her hand
I know you heard me calling, calling
she looked back and waved her hand

she said "Johnny I'm gone, I'm gone
And I won't be back no more"

I heard her tell her mother, mother
"lord know, he's one no good man"
lord, I heard her tell her mother, mother
"lord Johnny Lee is one no good man"

how've you still pain that's about me? (?)
baby how good has that been for you?

early one monday morning
when my baby walked away
early one monday morning
when my baby walked away

(solo)

I know you heard me calling, calling
she looked back and waved her hand
well well
well well well
well well well
goodbye goodbye
goodbye goodbye
