Lyrics:

I remember Grandpa telling me that I was born as the sun was comin' up early in the morn.
Told me I was born early in the morn.

When you lift your eyes and see the sun a-risin' on the far horizon early in the mornin'.

It was early in the day when I set out to roam.
Went to seek my fortune far away from home.
I set out to roam far away from home.

When you lift your eyes and see the sun a-risin' on the far horizon early in the mornin'.

But today when I awoke I missed my darlin' so.
Gotta have her by my side forever more I know.
Need my darlin' so.
Evermore I know.

When you lift your eyes and see the sun a-risin' on the far horizon early in the mornin'.

So tomorrow I'll be leavin' at the break of day.
Gonna hurry to my love and there I'll always stay.
At the break of day.
There I'll always stay.

When you lift your eyes and see the sun a-risin' on the far horizon early in the mornin'.
