I wake up every morning Honey, with the risin' sun I wake up every morning Baby, with the risin' sun Thinkin' about my honey dripper 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 sure 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 Well, the little girl I'm in love with She's lovin' somebody else
