By The Dawn`s Early Light — текст песни (Marcy Brothers)

Well, I`m lying here thinking that I ought to be leaving
Cos it`s more than halfway right
I`m wondering if I ought to wake you up and explain
Or leave quietly in the night
Well, the latter sounds better, so I pack up my feather
And I lean down and kiss you one time
I`m gonna miss you, but I`ll be in Mississippi
By the dawn`s early light
Hey, by the dawn`s early light I`ll be in Mississippi
Then you won`t have to worry about it
And I`ll be one more loner on the road of life
With his thumb out one more time
Aw, I hate to be going but I gave you fair warning
That I wasn`t fit to be tied
I`m gonna miss you but I`ll be in Mississippi
By the dawn`s early light
Well, you`re lying there sleeping like a soft warm baby
And I want to touch your skin
But I know darn well if I crawl back in bed
You`ll be changing my mind again
So while your eyes are all closed and your heart don`t know
I`ll be doing what I think is right
I`m gonna miss you but I`ll be in Mississippi
By the dawn`s early light
