| Meet me in the morning | 
| 56th and Wabasha | 
| Um, meet me in the morning, yes | 
| 56th and Wabasha, eh | 
| Honey, we could be in Kansas | 
| By time the snow begins to thaw | 
| They say the darkest hour, eh | 
| Comes a-right before the dawn | 
| They say that the darkest hour, baby | 
| Come right, eh, right before the dawn | 
| Ah, you wouldn’t know it by me, sugar | 
| Every day’s been darkness since you been gone | 
| Since you been gone | 
| I hear the rooster when it’s crowing | 
| Must be something on his mind | 
| I hear the rooster when it’s crowing | 
| Must be something on his mind | 
| Um, something on his mind | 
| And I feel just like that rooster | 
| Every time you treat me so | 
| You treat me so unkind | 
| Treat me, baby | 
| Oh, I struggled through barbed wire | 
| And I felt the hail when it fell all from up above | 
| I struggled through barbed wire | 
| And felt the hail, ooh, when it fell from up above | 
| I even outran a hound dog, baby | 
| Don’t you think that I’ve earned your love? | 
| Earned your love | 
| Look at the sun, oh, yeah | 
| Ooh, when it’s sinking like a ship | 
| Like a ship, like a ship, like a ship | 
| Look at the sun, at the sun, at the sun, baby | 
| When it’s sinking, sinking like a ship | 
| Ain’t it just like my heart, babe | 
| Every time you kiss my lips | 
| Every time that you kiss my lips |
