SO EARLY IN THE MORNING. AKA and see: “Early in the Morning (3),” "Over the Hills and Far Away (4)." English, Irish; Country Dance or Polka (2/4 time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "So Early in the Morning" is a well-known children's song. The melody was entered into the Alex Sutherland Manuscript (Ireland, c.1930) as "Early in the Morning." The title comes from the chorus of the rhyme sung to it:
When I was young, I had no sense,
I bought a fiddle for eighteen pence.
The only tune that it would play
Was “Over the Hills and Far Away”.
Chorus:
So early in the morning,
So early in the morning,
So early in the morning
Before the break of day.
My Aunt Jane she called me in
She gave me tea out of a tin,
Half a bog of sugar on the top
And three black lumps out of her wee shop.
The tune was in the repertory of the Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem.
