Lyric:
WELL, I WOKE UP LATE THIS MORNING,
MY HEAD WAS IN A WHIRL,
ONLY WHEN I REALISED I LOST MY LITTLE GIRL.
AH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH.
WELL, HER CLOTHES ARE NOT EXPENSIVE,
HER HAIR DIDN'T ALWAYS CURL.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I LOVE HER
BUT I LOVE MY LITTLE GIRL.
AH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH.
WELL, GATHER 'ROUND PEOPLE,
LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY
OF THE VERY FIRST SONG I WROTE.
WELL, GATHER 'ROUND PEOPLE,
LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY
OF THE VERY FIRST SONG I WROTE.
I WOKE UP LATE THIS MORNING,
MY HEAD WAS IN A WHIRL,
ONLY WHEN I REALISED I LOST MY LITTLE GIRL.
AH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH.
THAT'S IT!
