I wake up every morning

Honey with the risin' sun

I wake up every morning

Baby with the risin' sun

Thinkin' about my honeydripper

And all the wrong she's done



When you see my baby

Tell her I said hurry home

If you see my baby

Tell her I said hurry home

I ain't had no real good lovin'

Since my gal been gone



She's a little bitty girl

And they call her Vita Lee

She's a little bitty girl

And they call her Vita Lee

Well the poor girl's gone

But she shure was good to me



I don't mind cryin' baby

But I hate to sleep all by myself

Don't mind cryin' baby

But I hate to sleep all by myself

When the little girl I'm in love with

She's lovin' somebody else
