Early Morning Rain Lyrics - Singles - Peter, Paul & Mary

In the early morning rain 

With a dollar in my hand 

And an aching in my heart 

And my pockets full of sand 

Im a long way from home 

And I missed my loved one so 

In the early morning rain 

With no place to go 

Out on runway number nine 

Big 707 set to go 

But Im out here on the grass 

Where the pavement never grows 

Well, the liquor tasted good 

And the women all were fast 

There she goes my friend 

She's rolling down at last 

Hear the mighty engine roar 

See the silver wing on high 

She's away and westward bound 

Far above the clouds shell fly 

Where the morning rain dont fall 

And the sun always shines 

She' ll be flying over my home 

In about three hours time 

This old airport's got me down 

Its no earthly good to me 

'Cause Im stuck here on the ground 

Cold and drunk as I might be 

You cant jump a jet plane 

Like you can a freight train 

So Id best be on my way 

In the early morning rain 

So Id best be on my way 

In the early morning rain
