Lyrics
(Blake) Early in the morning,
Erly in the morning
(Williams) I have eaten the plums
that were in the icebox
which you were
which you were
which you were probably
saving for breakfast
Please forgive me
they were so delicious
So sweet and so cold
sweet and so cold
(Blake) I drove to town
To buy some fish and wine
Be back home by lunchtime
