O', ye'll never,
never, never thrive, lying in yer bed,
Early risin' makes
us wise, I've often heard it said,
I believe in that
mysel', but as far as I can see,
If early risin'
makes us wise, ye'll say the same as me-
Chorus
O! it's nice
to get up in the mornin' when the sun begins to shine,
At four or five
or six o'clock in the good old summer time.
When the snow is
snowin' and it;s murky over head,
O! it's nice to
get up in the mornin', but it's nicer to lie in your bed.
verse 2
O! there's
lots o' folks that never work, they hate the very name,
And others would
be idle if it wasn't just for shame.
They say we should
rise wi' the lark, well I believe that when,
The lark we should
rise wi' doesn't get up till ten-
repeat chorus
verse 3
O' my brither
Jock's a baker, and he sleeps along wi' me,
In the winter morn
Jock has to rise and start his work at three.
Before he gets
his troosers on, his legs are nearly numb,
So while he's standin'
shiverin', I lie in bed and hum-
repeat chorus twice
