Eva Cassidy - Early One Morning Lyrics






[Chorus:]
In the early morning rain with
a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home
And I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain
With no place to go

Out on runway number 9
Big 707 set to go
But I'm stuck here on the ground
Where the cold winds blow
Your can't jump a jet plane like
you can a freight train
So I best be on my way in
the early morning rain

Hear her mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
She's away and
westward bound far
above my home she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flying past my home
In about 3 hours time

[Chorus]

Eva Cassidy Early One Morning Comments
  1. D.... E....

    In the early morning rain... with no place to go...

  2. M.... W....

    Voice of an Angel honey dripping from her strings..................

  3. N.... N....

    Pure Love..

  4. J.... C....

    2020 still as good , who’s actually listening to real music in 2020

  5. S.... M....

    I read an article about her last year . . .she spoke with a record producer who had rejected her . . She was too weak at that point to do an album. It was a heartbreaking conversation, and he was deeply sorry.

  6. D.... T....

    BIG GORD FAN AND I REALLY LIKE THIS VERSION

  7. S.... R....

    Haunting

  8. Z.... T....

    Like a bird dipping and swooping, testing it's wings whilst out at sea, just because it can.

  9. h.... d....

    2020 and this is still my favourite eva rendition

  10. S.... S....

    Eva was an angel on earth - heaven will be a wonderful place

  11. j.... ....

    Fabulous voice and interpretation of the lyrics. Chords would be better to copy Gordon's or Peter, Paul and Mary's versions. But doesn't take away from the great vocals here.

  12. g.... u....

    For deepak. All listening 2020?

  13. L.... G....

    She and Gordon Lightfoot would have sung a helluva duet on this one.

  14. R.... H....

    Never knew Eva Cassidy covered this. Was looking for Paul Wellers version. Then saw this no disrespect to Mr Weller but this version is so much better. Every song she sings just is amazing, gets me everytime. Wish I could sing like that. I got my own style, check out merry go round Rosco just ruff acoustic but ideas there. Peace world x

  15. B.... E....

    And it's raining in the morning... I play this song over and over

  16. A.... O....

    You give me wings to fly.... Thank you..

  17. R.... D....

    Come back to this song that stirs my soul, over and over. God rest you precious Eva.

    R.... D....

    It's in my top 5 fave songs that she does. I never tire of hearing it.

  18. B.... T....

    Most female voices, as good as they might be, I don’t like, sorry for that. Sound to high. Other than this. Eva was outstanding. OMG what a Sound.

  19. C.... F....

    Eva and Gord is golden✨

  20. M.... 9....

    Gordon Lightfoot put the words on paper , Eva Cassidy took them to the moon , and beyond

    M.... 9....

    Eva took the words added her heart and soul then left to teach the angels to sing.

  21. d.... d....

    2019.... Still listening someone? Are you? 😐😐.
    👇

    d.... d....

    @Lex Stikvoort me too☺

    d.... d....

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    d.... d....

    I like this version, but I also like Elvis' version, 'cause I just love the guy, both of them sing with their soul, it stirrs something inside, only the real great ones can do that....

    d.... d....

    @Dorien V. you're right ...

    d.... d....

    Replying after hearing for the first time... will not be the last.

  22. B.... N....

    She had way of Knocking songs out of th epark when she covered them Check out her version of "Over The Rainbow" and melt into your seat in amazement

  23. B.... T....

    One of my fav Songs anyhow. Peter, Paul and Mary and of course Gordon Lightfood who wrote it, sang it superb aswell, but Evas Version doesn‘t give up one bit

  24. G.... G....

    There is no superlative that is superlative enough to describe her voice. Truly beyond description.

  25. C.... M....

    La versión de Elvis Presley es hermosísima también.

  26. C.... P....

    Gone too soon!

  27. S.... ....

    Every now and then I come back to listen to Eva Cassidy's songs because of her pure voice. She was truly blessed by God. I can't think of another female on the face of this earth that has a voice like hers.

  28. E.... M....

    To the 47 thumbs down people..........you have no soul..........hope you find it soon

  29. S.... D....

    Eva sang without any effort and her guitar playing was absolutely unbelievable it was that simple. Always will be missed.

    S.... D....

    She always translated beautifully and with her heart

  30. C.... C....

    One of the most precious of voices that when it fills the room the warmth of her spirit envelopes everyone around her! <3

  31. P.... H....

    Learned about her when I was watching a segment on CBS SUNDAY MORNING. Really amazing short career. Wish she was still here.

  32. R.... L....

    Eva has helped me through so many difficult times with her sweet voice and haunting sound. I've asked myself, 'how can I miss someone I didn't even know'?. I'm blessed to still have her music to fill me up when my soul is aching!

  33. w.... g....

    This is simply and clearly the voice of an angel...

  34. E.... M....

    To the 43 thumbs down people......you have no soul.......hope you cheer up soon 🤗

  35. j.... ....

    Beautiful

  36. P.... J....

    Gordon Light foot.
    Where's he these days.
    Beautiful version by Eva.
    Chills like ice.
    Burns like fire.
    Cuts like a knife.

  37. w.... ....

    Despite "Poopsies" and other supportive comments, I just heard this rendition on Folk Alley and I was....appalled. Understanding "artists" are allowed free reign to change things that suit their style, in my opinion, she simply ruined this absolutely beautiful song. Adding useless note changes and twisted lyrics, plus neutralizing a storyline that was intended purely from a male perspective. I'm no music critic, but I know what's good and what's not and this is...not.

  38. B.... E....

    Listening to this since couple years ago and feels perfect everytime rain falls down in the morning

  39. A.... K....

    Beautiful guitar playing too!

  40. J.... J....

    In the early mornin' rain
    With a dollar in my hand
    And an aching in my heart
    And my pockets full of sand

    I'm a long way from home
    And I missed my loved one so
    In the early mornin' rain
    With no place to go

    Out on runway number nine
    Big seven o seven set to go
    But I'm stuck here on the ground
    Where the cold winds blow

    You can't jump a jet plane
    Like you can a freight train
    So I best be on my way
    In the early mornin' rain

    Hear her mighty engines roar
    See the silver bird on high
    She's away and westward bound
    Far above my home she'll fly

    Where the mornin' rain don't fall
    And the sun always shines
    She'll be flying past my home
    In about three hours' time

    In the early mornin' rain
    With a dollar in my hand
    And an aching in my heart
    And my pockets full of sand

    I'm a long way from home
    And I missed my loved one so
    In the early mornin' rain
    With no place to go

    In the early mornin' rain
    With no place to go

  41. p.... s....

    Right on.

  42. R.... T....

    Eva should be in the Hall of Fame where she is the ONLY member. She's in a class all by herself. Eva Cassidy, I was not aware of you when you were alive... and I will regret that for the rest of my life.

    R.... T....

    Robert Truesdell EVA still Lives in the HALLS OF HEAVEN FOR ETERNITY ❤️🌹❤️

  43. 7.... ....

    this song was my introduction to Eva Cassidy's talent

  44. n.... w....

    This is such a lovely song and Eva sings and plays so beautifully. Please listen to " It's not too late ". Thank you. https://youtu.be/Nj7z87qGBmo

  45. T.... H....

    I get chills the moment she starts to sing.

  46. E.... L....

    `、、

  47. E.... n....

    I try to read most of the comments about a video while listening to the video. Eva has many, many followers and a very few distractors. That is remarkable considering all the TROLLS on the internet. Some are not trolls but simple believe others sing a certain song better than Eva. You know what is said about opinions!!!! Anyway my comment is that Eva knew what she liked and what she wanted to sing. She may or may not have been better than "whomever" but I have not heard a single song she has sung that has not reached deep into my soul and made me so enormousely glad she recorded and I am able to listen to her. She was an artist of such tremendous talent that the world needs to enjoy it.

  48. D.... B....

    A beautiful song done beautifully

  49. k.... ....

    She just cannot sing the tune !

  50. L.... C....

    If you enjoy her music enjoy it. If you do not like it change channel to something you enjoy. Too much negativity in the world!

  51. G.... G....

    Someone please invent a time machine so I can go back and hear her sing live in concert.

  52. M.... S....

    In the early mornin' rain
    With a dollar in my hand
    With an aching in my heart
    And my pockets full of sand
    I'm a long ways from home
    And I missed my loved one so
    In the early mornin' rain
    With no place to go
    Out on runway number nine
    Big seven o seven set to go
    Well I'm stuck here on the grass
    Where the pavement never grows
    Now the liquor tasted good
    And the women all were fast
    There she goes my friend
    She'll be rolling down at last
    Hear the mighty engines roar
    See the silver wing on high
    She's away and westward bound
    Far above the clouds she'll fly
    Where the mornin' rain don't fall
    And the sun always shines
    She'll be flying over my home
    In about three hours time
    This ol' airport's got me down
    It's no earthly good to me
    And I'm stuck here on the ground
    As cold and drunk as I can be
    You can't jump a jet plane
    Like you can a freight train
    So I best be on my way
    In the early mornin' rain
    You can't jump a jet plane
    Like you can a freight train
    So I best be on my way
    In the early mornin' rain

  53. I.... F....

    Deine Musik macht einfach nur glücklich!Danke dafür❤️RIP Eva🤓🍀🍀🍀

  54. T.... M....

    When I want to relax and chill out, I close my eyes and listen to Eva sing Autumn Leaves.

  55. O.... W....

    Queen Eva

  56. P.... G....

    This song is forever embedded in my memory as it was played at my son's funeral as guests walked into the chapel. Brings me to tears every time. Amazing talent.............. R.I.P.

  57. S.... B....

    Rest in Peace Eva it's Sad you had to leave us so soon♥️

  58. S.... ....

    Bless Eva ...this is one of my favourites fro first hearing. I shall be singing it accapella at our Community Café tomorrow, n hope I don't cry !!! ;)

  59. S.... R....

    Eva stirs so much emotion. I just love her singing!

  60. S.... F....

    Such a talent. "I love... to sing."

  61. a.... h....

    ive loved this song for years, but eva,s version makes my heart ache, I miss her so much. god bless.

  62. D.... J....

    I didn't think anything could top the Peter, Paul and Mary version, but this comes pretty damn close...what a beautiful angel...

  63. T.... T....

    What an amazing voice. Love Eva and every song she sang.

  64. 2.... ....

    Perfection..

  65. R.... B....

    No need to comment just listen

  66. P.... H....

    Smoking hot version.. Haunting beautiful

  67. t.... ....

    Let me start by saying I absolutely love Eva Cassidy and most things that she does. I think she does a pretty good job on this song but it's not one of my favorite covers of this tune. But she does a lovely job on it. I adore this young lady and I wish you were still with us. Sleep well my beauty.

  68. j.... s....

    If there was ever anything sweeter than the sound of Eva Cassidy's voice, God kept it for himself.

    j.... s....

    jeff silverman what a great sentence.

    j.... s....

    What a beautiful way to put it

    j.... s....

    There is no "himself," in speaks of GOD. I have never been selfish to keep sweeter things for MYSELF.

  69. L.... H....

    No one can fill her shoes...sadly missed.

  70. G.... B....

    Really outstanding!

  71. 5.... ....

    I have to admit that her angelic beauty makes her also angelic voice all the more enticing.

  72. r.... ....

    Love this. R

  73. I.... O....

    Beautiful voice! R.I.P. Eva

  74. G.... T....

    THIS WOMAN’S “FLASH OF LIFE” SAW BIRTH OF A LEGENDARY MUSICIAN, “LONG LIVE THE QUEEN” - “EVA”.

    G.... T....

    Flash of Life is really a good way to describe her, George!

  75. F.... S....

    I also wrote a tune called Early morning rain...but I did not know about this song.... nevertheless I would love to hear Eva Cassidy alo sing my tune With the same title..but that would be not be in this existence... and time..

  76. C.... R....

    The only thing I know about music is whether I like it or not . I love hers !

  77. b.... ....

    I love Eva's music, but I prefer this song with the minor chords as Gordon Lightfoot wrote it. Plus, she get the lyrics wrong.  LyricsIn the early mornin' rain
    With a dollar in my hand
    With an aching in my heart
    And my pockets full of sand
    I'm a long ways from home
    And I missed my loved one so
    In the early mornin' rain
    With no place to go
    Out on runway number nine
    Big seven o seven set to go
    Well I'm stuck here on the grass
    Where the pavement never grows
    Now the liquor tasted good
    And the women all were fast
    There she goes my friend
    She'll be rolling down at last
    Hear the mighty engines roar
    See the silver wing on high
    She's away and westward bound
    Far above the clouds she'll fly
    Where the mornin' rain don't fall
    And the sun always shines
    She'll be flying over my home
    In about three hours time
    This ol' airport's got me down
    It's no earthly good to me
    And I'm stuck here on the ground
    As cold and drunk as I can be
    You can't jump a jet plane
    Like you can a freight train
    So I best be on my way
    In the early mornin' rain
    You can't jump a jet plane
    Like you can a freight train
    So I best be on my way
    In the early mornin' rain

    Yes I am a huge Lightfoot fan too, however Ea does a wonderful version of this too,

  78. P.... l....

    Genius!

  79. h.... d....

    eve kills it, she is bathed in unapproachable musical light

  80. R.... W....

    she surly sang songs from the heart...RIP you angel....<3

  81. D.... V....

    Probably my favorite Peter, Paul & Mary song, redone beautifully. What's not to like?

    D.... V....

    It was written by Gordon Lightfoot, although I'm sure PPM did a great version.

    D.... V....

    Yeah, I recognize they didn't write it, but of all the songs they did, it's my favorite. Cheers.

    D.... V....

    I believe It's a Gordon Lightfoot song

    D.... V....

    Yep. It's a Lightfoot song alright. Eva does it beautifully as usual. I wonder if Gordie has heard her version. If he hasn't, he should. What a tribute.

  82. P.... G....

    musical goddess

  83. N.... M....

    Eva Cassidy is like chocolate truffles. One is not enough. Neither is all of them. I need to book a whole day off just to glut myself on her. I've got nothing done. And I don't care. I've been following her since 1997. Every time is like the first time.

    N.... M....

    And you are so right! I think PBS did a special about her, upon her demise, I memorized her name and looked her up, my heart mourned her, our, loss. Her biggest friend; sit around@ gigs, talk on breaks, await next show! See ya later Eva,@ night's end! You always gave a good show! 😊😉

  84. D.... ....

    Comparisons are meaningless when you're listening to a beautiful voice and soul.  Music is about feelings.

    D.... ....

    `、、

  85. m.... h....

    Yet another brilliant cover by Eva. A beautiful unspoilt voice . Pitch perfect ,word perfect. What a loss to the world

  86. c.... ....

    Thank you Eva Cassidy.

  87. b.... b....

    I believe she's one of the most precious souls to ever walk the Earth! I truly believe that!

    b.... b....

    I agree Buz!

    b.... b....

    `、、

    b.... b....

    She's THEE most precious soul to ever walk the Earth.😊

  88. R.... S....

    My favorite version of this song. Surprisingly, my second favorite was done by Jerry Reed. The arrangement and orchestration is a bit too much, but Jerry plays it straight and his voice comes across beautifully. Check it out.

    R.... S....

    Ian and Sylvia have a superb rendition of Early Morning Rain

  89. B.... J....

    Eva knows that she must go

  90. �.... ....

    另類內心的陳述 呯喊 感動我們的心弦

  91. L.... M....

    It's the simplistic, clean and pure voice that takes you to another place. Thanks Eva.

  92. D.... ....

    I believe all of the artists that Eva Cassidy covered are the better for it! These were great songs to begin with but Eva just takes them to another level. Just beautiful!

  93. x.... ....

    It never fails to stagger me the number of know all armchair critics rubbishing Eva's brilliant artistic interpretations of well known songs. Great in all genres,perfect pitch, intuitive timing,as well as being a competent guitarist.
    So ,if you feel you prefer other versions with less imagination, Just bug off and leave the rest of us to bask in her brilliance

    x.... ....

    @theID2 You are hearing something that's not there - She is the BEST EVER !

    x.... ....

    @Steve Kerley i'm very comfortable with my ears, steve. i get that people think she's great, especially since she died, but i get tired of all the undeserved accolades she gets. had she lived no one would know who she is.

    x.... ....

    The internet is a happy home for a-holes . . . pretty obvious by now.

    x.... ....

    @Seventies Memories and you just joined the a-hole crowd.

  94. E.... U....

    ELVIS WOULD BE PROUD OF HER VERSION. PREVIOUS SONG DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE, WRITTEN BY PAUL ANKA.

    E.... U....

    Early Morning Rain was composed and lyrics written by Gordon Lightfoot a Canadian folk singer in 1964 ... People like Elvis / Peter Paul and Mary/ Ian and Sylvia Tyson made it famous via their covers of his song ... Paul Anka had no part in this song.

    E.... U....

    @Cheryl Thorpe I'm sure someone said similar enough to get the message on May 8th!

  95. S.... ....

    Lovely!

  96. R.... H....

    Lord Eva, all these years later I recall singing together at Cates with Mary C as they closed up. Burgers with lump-fin crab meat and cheese quashed down with Rolling Rock. Wait for me in heaven and we'll sing an eternity. D.

    R.... H....

    Rock Head .....Dear Friend, such heartfelt beautiful words. Thank you. Luce x.

    R.... H....

    You’re so blessed to have sang with what was then a living angel who was called home🖤 thanks for sharing this little piece of your life!

  97. A.... B....

    Great . Shame YouTube or artists take off their videos and lose fans

  98. J.... B....

    Superb version. Eva Cassidy is the only artist whose cover versions best the originals.

    J.... B....

    When she was not shouting, goodness rest her soul. Decent version indeed, though she puts more feeling into her voice than into the lyrics of this song.

    J.... B....
