C Have you ever been awaken, by the crowing of a rooster G7 While the night's dew is still heavy on the ground And the voice of Uncle Ben, seems to break the morning silence C Bringing lights to windows all around C Well it's time to rise and shine and start another hard work day F Get the cows in and start the milking chores G7 C Am It's nice to think about it, maybe even visit F G7 C But I wonder could I live there anymore C Something bout the smell of cornbread, cooking on a wood stove G7 Seems to bring a picture to my mind Of a little three room house, with mama in the kitchen C But she can't stop to talk ain't got the time C She's a fixing daddy's supper, he's a working over time F Trying to pay our bill at the grocery store G7 C Am It's nice to think about it, maybe even visit F G7 C But I wonder could I live there anymore C As I think about my childhood and of my old hometown F I don't really miss them like before G7 C Am It's nice to think about it, maybe even visit F G7 C But I wonder could I live there anymore
