My Lord, what a morning [in the earliest sources "mournin'")
My Lord, what a morning
Oh, my Lord, what a morning
When the stars begin to fall.

Done quit all my worldly ways
Gonna join that heavenly band.

My Lord, what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
Oh, my Lord, what a morning
When the stars begin to fall.
