about

This is an old american folk song that was recorded by the "Kingston Trio". My mother was a fan and had recorded their songs from the radio to a stereo tape reel to reel recorder. She used to put the speaker to her belly when she was pregnant with me, so you could say I learned this song as a child.. or even before.

lyrics

I remember Grandma 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.
I sat out and went to seek my fortune far away from home.
I set out to roam far away from home.

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

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.
