[Chorus 1]
A D E
I like to rise when the sun she rises,
A D E
early in the morning
A D E
And I like to hear them small birds singing,
A D E
Merrily upon their laylums
A D E
And hurrah for the life of a country boy,
A E A
And to ramble in the new mowed hay.
[Verse 1]
A D E
In spring we sow at the harvest mow
A D E
And that is how the seasons round they go
A D E
but of all the times choose I may
A E A
I'd be rambling through the new mowed hay.
[Chorus 2]
A D E
For I like to rise when the sun she rises,
A D E
early in the morning
A D E
And I like to hear them small birds singing,
A D E
Merrily upon their laylums
A D E
And hurrah for the life of a country boy,
A E A
And to ramble in the new mowed hay.
[Verse 2]
A D E
In winter when the sky's gray
A D E
we hedge and ditch our times away,
A D E
but in summer when the sun shines gay,
A E A
We'd go ramblin' through the new mowed hay.
[Chorus 3]
A D E
For I like to rise when the sun she rises,
A D E
early in the morning
A D E
And I like to hear them small birds singing,
A D E
Merrily upon their laylums
A D E
And hurrah for the life of a country boy,
A E A
And to ramble in the new mowed hay.
