Rise, rise and shine |
|
Shoes on again, it's time |
|
You're working today, gonna have to pitch in while it's light |
|
If the creeks don't rise, I hope to see tomorrow all right |
|
Watch my father's hands plant some seeds again |
|
Hear my mother call the helpers in |
|
If the creeks don't rise, we'll work 'til the light gets dim |
|
And if the creeks don't rise, we'll work 'til the light gets dim |
|
The helpers starts to feel sick |
|
The helpers think it's a trick, but |
|
They keep working hard, to send a little money back home |
|
Because in Mexico is where their family seeds are sown |
|
But, now the Sun Parlour is where they call their home |
|
Smell that water coming across the field |
|
I wanta get some |
|
I wanna get in the way of that great big old irrigation gun |
|
Call all your friends |
|
Tell your parents, they too can attend |
|
Come on farmers, come on trees |
|
Feel that coolness in the breeze |
|
Because if the creeks don't rise, we're gonna have a time |
|
Because if the creeks don't rise, we're gonna have a |
|
We're gonna have a time |
|
Night is coming in |
|
All of the fields, they are empty as |
|
We sit down to eat and I wrestle my Dad to the ground |
|
With so much fun around, you can't even hear the sound |
|
Rise, rise and shine |
|
Shoes on again, it's time |
|
My brother and I hear a sound |
|
It sounds like a rod |
|
The creeks have risen, risen like never before |
|
The creeks have risen like they've done before |
