of day A A7 I’d leave a leg just to get a way E You call it splendor, I call it pain E B7 E I'm a-limping back to the land of rain [Chorus] E I rise when the rooster crows E Rise when the rooster crows E I'm going back south where the sun shines hot E B7 E Oh down where the river cane grows [Interlude] E E|----------------------------------0------|--------0------------------------------|

riches E B7 E I’ll do my best just to keep ‘er ‘tween the ditches [Chorus] E I rise when the rooster crows E Rise when the rooster crows E I'm going back south where the sunshine's hot E B7 E Oh down

to get away E B7 E For you can't eat money and buy your faith [Chorus] E I rise when the rooster crows E Rise when the rooster crows E I'm going back south where the sunshine's hot E B7 E Oh down where the river cane grows E I rise when the rooster crows E Rise when the rooster crows E I'm going back south where the sunshine's hot E B7 E Oh down where the river cane grows [Outro] E
