[Chorus 1]
AI like to rise when the Dsun she Erises,
Aearly in the DmorEning
And AI like to hear them Dsmall birds Esinging,
AMerrily upon their DlayElums
And Ahurrah for the life of a Dcountry Eboy,
And to Aramble in the Enew mowed Ahay.
[Verse 1]
AIn spring we sow at the Dharvest Emow
And Athat is how the seasons Dround they Ego
but of Aall the times Dchoose I Emay
I'd be Arambling through the Enew mowed Ahay.
[Chorus 2]
For AI like to rise when the Dsun she Erises,
Aearly in the DmorEning
And AI like to hear them Dsmall birds Esinging,
AMerrily upon their DlayElums
And Ahurrah for the life of a Dcountry Eboy,
And to Aramble in the Enew mowed Ahay.
[Verse 2]
In Awinter when the Dsky's Egray
Awe hedge and ditch our Dtimes Eaway,
but in Asummer when the Dsun shines Egay,
We'd go Aramblin' through the Enew mowed Ahay.
[Chorus 3]
For AI like to rise when the Dsun she Erises,
Aearly in the DmorEning
And AI like to hear them Dsmall birds Esinging,
AMerrily upon their DlayElums
And Ahurrah for the life of a Dcountry Eboy,
And to Aramble in the Enew mowed Ahay.

[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.
