Early one morning Just as the sun was rising If anyone could come up with information about this tune, I'd deeply appreciate it. |

22 Feb 00 - 01:27 PM (#182822) Subject: RE: Help: Need title for song... From: Amos Richard Dyer Bennett sang this on an early Fifties release. The second verse goes: Remember the vows, That you made to your Mary, Remember the bower, Where you vowed to be true, Oh, don't deceive me, Oh, never leave me, How could you use A poor maiden so? I believe it is called "Early One Morning", along with about fifty other songs. A |

22 Feb 00 - 07:25 PM (#183027) Subject: RE: Help: Need title for song... From: Lanfranc One reason for songs beginning with "As I roved out ..." "As I walked over London Bridge ..." "As I walked out on a May morning ..." etc is to enable a man to sing a song, the main narrative of which is from a female viewpoint. cf "My husband's got no courage in him", "Geordie", "Bushes and Briars" and dozens of others. Blues songs starting with "Woke up this morning ... " are different - could be delight at surviving another night, or it could be just cliche. There was a UK radio programme called "I'm sorry, I haven't a clue" where the contestants had to improvise a blues and they almost always started "Woke up this morning". Thinking about it, are there many real blues that start that way? |

I suspect it of being one of those absolutely filthy songs rewritten by Baring-Gould. |
