[Chorus: Dan Zanes & Donald Saaf]
Oh, I like to rise when the sun she rises
Early in the morning
And I like to hear them small birds singing
Merrily upon their laylums
And hurrah for the life of the country kid
And to ramble in the new mowed hay

[Verse 1: Donald Saaf]
In spring we sow in the harvest mow
And that's how the seasons round they go
But of all the times to choose I may
It's to ramble in the new mowed hay

[Chorus: Dan Zanes & Donald Saaf]
I like to rise when the sun she rises
Early in the morning
And I like to hear them small birds singing
Merrily upon their laylums
And hurrah for the life of a country kid
And to ramble in the new mowed hay

[Verse 2: Dan Zanes]
In winter when the sky's gray
We hedge and ditch our times away
In summer when the sun shines gay
We'd go ramble in the new mowed hay
[Chorus: Dan Zanes & Donald Saaf]
Oh, I like to rise when the sun she rises
Early in the morning
And I like to hear them small birds singing
Merrily upon their laylums
And hurrah for the life of a country kid
And to ramble in the new mowed hay

Alright

Oh, I like to rise when the sun she rises
Early in the morning
And I like to hear them small birds singing
Merrily upon their laylums
And hurrah for the life of a countrykid
And to ramble in the new mowed hay
