Early In The Morning 1916

Look me over, look me over,
Ain't I looking great?
All tann'd up and ev'ry thing,
Been away from town since Spring;
I just wandered back to nature,
Lived down on the farm;
Did I get my money's worth
It's the greatest thing on earth.

Early in the morning,
down on the farm
where you can hear the rooster crow,
And you can watch the flowers grow, so pretty,
Ramble 'round the meadow.
Sweet with pearly dew,
and all the little birdies say
Good Morning to you
Your very oldest clothes
are plenty good enough to wear;
Seven years behind the styles
but you don't care.
Throw away your tie and collars,
Gee! It's worth a million dollars,
Early in the morning
Down on the farm.

Early in the morning,
down on the farm
where you can hear the rooster crow,
And you can watch the flowers grow, so pretty,
Ramble 'round the meadow.
Sweet with pearly dew,
and all the little birdies say
Good Morning to you
Your very oldest clothes
are plenty good enough to wear;
Seven years behind the styles
but you don't care.
Walk four miles to carry water,
Just to please the farmer's daughter,
Early in the morning
Down on the farm.

In the evening, in the evening,
When the clock strikes nine,
You don't don your evening clothes,
But you start your night's repose,
You don't need a sleeping powder,
One, two, three, you're out;
You get up next morn at five
Mighty glad to be alive.

Early in the morning,
down on the farm
where you can hear the rooster crow,
And you can watch the flowers grow, so pretty,
Ramble 'round the meadow.
Sweet with pearly dew,
and all the little birdies say
Good Morning to you
Your very oldest clothes
are plenty good enough to wear;
Seven years behind the styles
but you don't care.
Throw away your tie and collars,
Gee! It's worth a million dollars,
Early in the morning
Down on the farm.

Early in the morning,
down on the farm
where you can hear the rooster crow,
And you can watch the flowers grow, so pretty,
Ramble 'round the meadow.
Sweet with pearly dew,
and all the little birdies say
Good Morning to you
Your very oldest clothes
are plenty good enough to wear;
Seven years behind the styles
but you don't care.
Where's my breakfast? That's the question,
Never heard of indigestion,
Early in the morning
Down on the farm.
