5 O'clock In the Morning

Fences need mending
They don't mend all by themselves
Tobaccy needs picking
Crop ain't gonna fetch itself
Heifers need milking
Pigs need slopping out too
It's 5 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 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
