[Verse 1]
E E7
My tires turn at the break 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]

You'll live out homesick country songs

Trees and air are my kinda riches

I’ll do my best just to keep ‘er ‘tween the ditches
[Chorus]

I rise when the rooster crows

Rise when the rooster crows

I'm going back south where the sunshine's hot

Oh down where the river cane grows

E E7
When Gabriel come to blow his horn
A A7
Well the scarlet banner at last be torn
E
Prepare yourself and try 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
