This is what I got:



James Lowry - Early Morning Blues

It was 4 o clock when mornin' and the blues came rollin round
It was 4 o clock when mornin' when the blues came rollin round
well it roll too doggone fast and it soon all over town

I was thinkin bout my baby everything she said
I 's thinkin bout my baby everything she said
I was all bout myself and I won't nobody "else?, there?"


Yes I love you baby and I love you for my own
Yes I love you baby and I love you for my own
T'ain't nothin in the street mama you can't get at home

Yes I love you baby and I love you too doggone hard
Yes I love you baby and I love you too doggone hard
"Took all my money child  love is only me and god" help

yes you know I love you baby why you treat me so unkind
yes you know I love you honey why's you treat me so unkind
say you keep me worried bothered all the time.

Hi Coco - See below for some differences.

This is what I got:

James Lowry - Early Morning Blues

It was 4 o clock when mornin' and the blues came rollin round
It was 4 o clock when mornin' when the blues came rollin round
well it roll too doggone fast and it soon all over town

1.1 and 1.2 It was 4 o'clock ONE mornin' and the blues came rollin' round
1.3 YEAH it rollED SO doggone fast THAT it WAS soon all over town

The IT WAS is more mumbled than sung clearly but I think it's there.

I was thinkin bout my baby everything she said
I 's thinkin bout my baby everything she said
I was all bout myself and I won't nobody "else?, there?"

2.2 YES, I WAS thinkin'...
2.3 I was ALL BY myself and THERE WASN'T nobody there

Yes I love you baby and I love you for my own
Yes I love you baby and I love you for my own
T'ain't nothin in the street mama you can't get at home

Yes I love you baby and I love you too doggone hard
Yes I love you baby and I love you too doggone hard
"Took all my money child  love is only me and god" help

4.1 Yes I love you baby, I love you too doggone hard   (no AND)
4.3 WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU is only me and God

yes you know I love you baby why you treat me so unkind
yes you know I love you honey why's you treat me so unkind
say you keep me worried bothered all the time.

5.1 Yes you know I love you baby, THAT'S why you treat me so unkind
5.2 Yes you know I love you baby, THAT'S why you treat me so unkind

The "THAT'S" is fast but there both times

So this is what we got by the way:

James Lowry - Early Morning Blues

It was 4 o'clock one mornin' and the blues came rollin' round
It was 4 o'clock one mornin' and the blues came rollin' round
Yeah it rolled so doggone fast that it was soon all over town

I was thinkin bout my baby everything she said
Yes I was thinkin bout my baby everything she said
I was all by myself and there was nobody there

Yes I love you baby and I love you for my own
Yes I love you baby and I love you for my own
T'ain't nothin in the street mama you can't get at home

Yes I love you baby  I love you too doggone hard
Yes I love you baby and I love you too doggone hard
Who knows how much I love you is only me and God

Yes you know I love you baby, that's why you treat me so unkind
Yes you know I love you honey, that's why you treat me so unkind
say you keep me worried bothered all the time.
