5 O'clock In The Morning Lyrics

Fences need mending

They don't mend all by themselves

Tobacca needs picking

Crop ain't gonna fetch itself

Heifers need milking

Pigs need slopping out too

It's 5 o'clock in the morning

I'm wondering why the mail order folks sent you

Crow's building nests outta barbed wire

It's so dry that I'm spitting cotton

Tonight's supper needs catching

I prefer mine without feathers on

Tractor wheel's down… and the axle dragging

Already it's 5 o'clock in the morning

And all I'm hearing is nothing but nagging

Crapper out back needs unclogging

Enter there at your own risk

Mind the snakes when you're washing

Come summer time they move fairly brisk

If the bank manager shows up… feel free to use my 22

It's 5 o'clock in the morning

I'm wondering why the mail order folks sent you

South forty needs plowing

Chores won't do you no harm

Bessie only bites when she horny

There's always some killing on the farm

7 course meal round here

Is a 6 pack and a leg of roo

Already it's 5 o'clock in the morning

And I'm wondering why the mail order folks sent you
