Along About Daybreak

Bill Monroe · Legend Lives On [2005]

When we were young and we thought we loved each other

But you didn't love me, I guess

For you've gone and you've found another

Everything to you is regret



This morning along about daybreak

You quarreled at me the whole night through

I know it's not too late for your sake, dear

But for me I will always be blue



Oh, I'm weary, my darling, I'm weary

Just to know your love's gone cold

For without you I will be so dreary

We'll need each other when we grow old



This morning along about daybreak

You quarreled at me the whole night through

I know it's not too late for your sake, dear

But for me I will always be blue



Oh sweetheart, be good to our babies

And I want you to teach them to pray

Tell them to say a little prayer for their daddy

Where he will be no one can say



This morning along about daybreak

You quarreled at me the whole night through

I know it's not too late for your sake, dear

But for me I will always be blue
