I'm looking for the lyrics to 2 blues songs for my band to perform. Does anyone have "Early in the Morning" and "Big Ten Inch" written out? Thanks much,

Dear Ken,

Look at this URL for lyrics, solo guitar tab and some sidelights on "Big Ten Inch".

Do you have any snippets of lyrics for "Early in the Morning" that would give me a little more to go on?

If it's Louis Jordan's "Early in the Morning" it goes something like this:

Early in the morning and I can't get right
Had a little date with my baby last night
Now it's early in the morning
Early in the morning
Early in the morning and I ain't got nothin but the blues

I went to all the places we used to go
I went to her house but she don't live there no more
Now it's early in the morning ...

I went to her girlfriends house but she was out
I knocked on her mother's door and she began to shout
(get away from there boy)
It's early in the morning ...

Went to Jenny Lou's to get something to eat
The waitress looked at me and said Pops you sure do look beat
I said it's early in the morning ...

Had a lot of money when I started out
Now my baby's gone and my money's run out
And it's early in the morning ...

Hi Ken,
I don't know if this is the one but...

Early In The Morning - Elmore James
(standard 12-bar)

Well, it's early in the morning
and my baby can't be found
Well, it's early in the morning
and my baby can't be found
I'm gonna pack up and leave her
if she don't stop running 'round.

Well, I've got to leave my baby,
'cause she gives me such a thrill
Well, I've got to leave my baby,
'cause she gives me such a thrill
Well , she takes me back in the morning
And I hope she will

She can get so sentimental
when the lights are way down low
She can get so sentimental
when the lights are way down low
The way that gal can thrill me
make any man come back for more
