When The Sun Rose Up This Morning

it was a cold wind blowing
from the north and to the south
it was a cold wind blowing
from the north and to the south
it was a cold wind blowing
from the north and to the south
but when the sun rose up this morning
my baby kissed me on the mouth
my baby kissed me on the mouth
my baby kissed me on the mouth
but when the sun rose up this morning
my baby kissed me on the mouth

and i was bitten by a snake
and i was stung by a bee
i was bitten by a snake
and i was stung by a bee
i was bitten by a snake
and i was stung by a bee
but when the sun rose up this morning
my baby sang a song for me
my baby sang a song for me
my baby sang a song for me
but when the sun rose up this morning
my baby she sang a song for me

they say life is a state fair
and love is an incredible ride
they say life is a state fair
and love is an incredible ride
they say life is a state fair
and love is an incredible ride
and when the sun rose up this morning
i had my baby by my side
i had my baby by my side
i had my baby by my side
when the sun rose up this morning
i had my baby by my side

now my mother said my brother
was her favourite child
when my mother she said my brother
was her favourite child
when my mother said my brother
was her favourite child
but when the sun rose up this morning
my baby looked at me and smiled
my baby looked at me and smiled
my baby looked at me and smiled
but when the sun rose up this morning
my baby she looked at me and smiled

and it was thunder clouds and lightning balls
in the sky above me
and it was thunder, it was lightning
in the thick cloud above me
and it was thunder and it was lightning
in the thick cloud above me
but when the sun rose up this morning
my baby she told me that she loved me
my baby told me that she loved me
my baby told me that she loved me
but when the sun rose up this morning
my baby she told me that she loved me
yes, she did
