Lyrics

Walk me out in the morning dew
My Baby
Walk me out in the morning dew
Today
I can't walk you out in the morning dew
My honey
I can't walk you out in the morning dew
At all
I thought I heard a young girl crying
Baby
I thought I heard a young girl cry
Today
You didn't hear no young girl crying
Baby
You didn't hear no young girl crying
At all

Now there's no more morning dew
Now there's no more morning dew
What they were sayin' all these years was true
Now there's no more morning dew

Walk me out in the morning dew
My honey
Oh, alk me out in the morning dew
Today
I can't walk you out in the morning dew
My honey
I can't walk you out in the morning dew
At all
I thought I heard a young girl crying
Baby
Oh, I thought I heard a young girl cry
Today
You didn't hear no young girl crying
Baby
Oh no, you didn't hear no young girl crying
At all
