Walk me out in the morning dew,
Walk me out in the morning dew today.
I can't walk you out in the morning dew,
Can't walk you out in the morning dew at all.

I thought I heard a young girl cry mama,
I thought I heard a young girl cry today.
You didn't hear no young girl crying mama,
You didn't hear no young girl cry at all.

I thought I heard a young boy crying mama,
I thought I heard a young boy cry today.
You didn’t hear no young boy crying mama,
You didn’t hear no young boy cry at all.

Thought I heard a young girl crying mama,
Thought I heard a young man cry today.
You didn't hear no young girl crying,
You didn't hear no young man cry at all.

Now there is no more morning dew,
Now there is no more morning dew.
What they’ve been saying all these years is true,
Now there is no more morning dew.
