Biography:
An English folk group from Hull, Yorkshire, the Watersons performed mainly traditional songs with little or no accompaniment. Their distinctive sound came from their close harmonies.
Original members were Norma Waterson, Mike Waterson, and Lal Waterson, with their cousin John Harrison from Kingston High School. They had a skiffle band in the early 1960s but moved on to playing more traditional material. They were briefly known as "The Folksons".

[Chorus 1]
A D E
I like to rise when the sun she rises,
A D E
early in the morning
A D E
And I like to hear them small birds singing,
A D E
Merrily upon their laylums
A D E
And hurrah for the life of a country boy,
A E A
And to ramble in the new mowed hay.
[Verse 1]
A D E
In spring we sow at the harvest mow
A D E
And that is how the seasons round they go
A D E
but of all the times choose I may
A E A
I'd be rambling through the new mowed hay.
[Chorus 2]
A D E
For I like to rise when the sun she rises,
A D E
early in the morning
A D E
And I like to hear them small birds singing,
A D E
Merrily upon their laylums
A D E
And hurrah for the life of a country boy,
A E A
And to ramble in the new mowed hay.
[Verse 2]
A D E
In winter when the sky's gray
A D E
we hedge and ditch our times away,
A D E
but in summer when the sun shines gay,
A E A
We'd go ramblin' through the new mowed hay.
[Chorus 3]
A D E
For I like to rise when the sun she rises,
A D E
early in the morning
A D E
And I like to hear them small birds singing,
A D E
Merrily upon their laylums
A D E
And hurrah for the life of a country boy,
A E A
And to ramble in the new mowed hay.
