A Day In the Life of a Farmer

Gonna wake up 
At the brink of dawn 
With the d a r n little red rooster 
Cock-a-doodle doodling alarm 

Saddle
My horse and ride out
Cross the river to the green field about
Make sure those sneaky coyotes 
Haven't had  lambchop for dinner. 

Then 
Gonna water all of my crop
Gonna spread out 
All the bales of hay
Where the goats and the horses
And the cattle stay

After 
Dinner with a little moonshine 
The best d a m nnnn... moonshine
That I ever made
With my woman Suzanne
