You know I love getting up in the morning When the sun first strikes the trees ...aah All the morning birds that sing above Still bring back memories Of a girl who stood beside me When the rights I did were wrong ...aah But she went back down the river Just when I thought I could be strong When I thought I could be strong, so I sing I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. She never told me why she left me But the letter said goodbye ...aah Now my mornings are for wond'ring And my nights to reason why Why a stranger comes to steal the love Of a girl I had to hold ...aah But she went back down the river Just when I thought I could be strong When I thought I could be strong, so I sing I.O.
