I.O.I.I.I.I.I.I.O.I.O
I.O.I.I.I.I.I.I.O.I.O

I.O.I.I.I.I.I.I.O.I.O
I.O.I.I.I.I.I.I.O.I.O

You know I love getting up in the morning
When the sun first strikes the trees
All the morning birts that sing above
Still bring back memories
Of a girl who stood beside me
When the rights I did were wrong
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 helped me
But the letter say goodbye
Now my mornings are for wondering
And my nights to reason why
Why a stranger comes to steal the love
Of a girl I had to hold
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 [repeat]
