As sung by St. Mary’s College on the album Crossing the Bar
[Chorus]
G C D I like to rise when the sun she rises G Em Am7 D Early in the morning, Em Am7 D I like to hear them small birds singing Em G C D Merrily upon their laylum G C D And hurrah for the life of the country boy G Am7 D7 G And to ramble in the new mown hay.
[Verse 1]
G C D In spring we sow, after harvest mow G C D And that is how the seasons round they go Em Am7 D But of all the times, if choose I may G C D7 G I'd be rambling in the new mown hay
[Chorus]
G C D I like to rise when the sun she rises G Em Am7 D Early in the morning, Em Am7 D I like to hear them small birds singing Em G C D Merrily upon their laylum G C D And hurrah for the life of the country boy G Am7 D7 G And to ramble in the new mown hay.
[Verse 2]
G C D In summer when the sun is hot G C D We sing, and we dance, and we drink a lot. Em Am7 D We spend all night in sport and play G C D7 G And go rambling in the new mown hay.
[Chorus]
G C D I like to rise when the sun she rises G Em Am7 D Early in the morning, Em Am7 D I like to hear them small birds singing Em G C D Merrily upon their laylum G C D And hurrah for the life of the country boy G Am7 D7 G And to ramble in the new mown hay.
[Verse 3]
G C D In autumn when the oak trees turn G C D We gather all the wood that's fit to burn. Em Am7 D We cut and stash and stow away G C D7 G And go rambling in the new mown hay.

G C D In winter when the sky is gray G C D We hedge and ditch our times away Em Am7 D But in the summer when the sun shines gay G C D7 G We go rambling through the new mown hay
