Early Mornin' Rain
(Gordon Lightfoot)
(starts on 'G')
In the early mornin' rain, with a dollar
in my hand. With an achin' in my heart and
my pockets full of sand. I'm a long way from
home and I miss my loved one so. In the
early mornin' rain and no place to go.
Out on runway number nine, big
seven-o-seven set to go Well I'm standin' on the
grass where the cold wind blows Well, the
liquor tasted good and the women were all
fast Well there she goes, my friend, she's
rollin' now at last
Hear the might engines roar, see the
silver bird on high She's away and westward
bound, far above the clouds she'll fly Where
the mornin' rain don't fall, and the sun
always shines She'll be flyin' o'er my home
in about three hours' time.
Well this old airport's go me down, it's
no earthly good to me 'Cause I'm stuck here on
the ground, as cold and drunk as I can be
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a
freight train So I best be on my way, in the
early mornin' rain
