Well early in the morning
At the break of day
I ain't got no god to whom I pray
No lord above to set me free
I keep my burdens right her with me
Well the valley's deep
And the mountain's high
And my troubled heart
Is sure to make me cry
I gotta be a man if I wanna stay
Right here on Earth til the end of day
When I lay my head
Down to go to sleep
I don't pray to the lord my soul to keep
I just worry sick
Right through the night
I ain't got no mama
For to hold me tight
I ain't got no daddy
For to hold me tight
I need somebody for to hold me tight
