Well early in the morning
At the break of day
I ain't got no God
To whom I pray
No lord above
To set me free
I keep my burdens
Right here with me

Well the valleys's deep
And the mountain's high
And my troubled heart
Is sure to make me cry
I gotta be a man
If I wanna stay
Right here on earth
Till the end of day

When I lay my head
Down to go to sleep
I don't pray to the lord
My soul to keep
I just worry sick,
Right through the night
I ain't got no mama
For hold me tight
I ain't got no daddy
For hold me tight
I need somebody
To hold me tight
