Song: "At Dawnin'" ()

Master of ceremonies

Now, that's somethin'.
I long see the gold colors takin',
 In the golden West.
Now, that's the time I really get to thinkin',
 That I'm heaven-blessed!
Home sees shadows risin',
 That means I've had my rest.
And when I wake up in the early dawnin'
 That's the time I love her best.

Of mornin' glories
Tellin' stories
 At dawnin'.
And every daisy
Wakes up lazy
 At dawnin'.

Now, in the evenin',
Shadows creepin',
That's time you feel like sleepin'.
 Mr. Rooster wakes you up at dawnin'.

Hey, love is sweeter,
Life's completer,
 At daw-daw-dawnin'.
Our time's truer
Love is newer
 At daw-daw-dawnin'.

Whi' a mammy's arms caress you,
 Why yaw-yawnin'?
Add all your little troubles,
Turn into bubbles,
 At dawnin'.

Hey, lo-lo-lo-dio, lo-lo-do-dio,
 Daw-daw-dawnin'.
Lo-lo-do-dio, do-do-do-dio,
 Daw-daw-dawnin'.

Weather even shadows the reapers.
That's the time you feel like sleepers.
 Mr. Rooster wakes you up at do-do-dio-do.

Hey, lo-do-do-dio, lo-lo-lo-dio,
 Daw-daw-dawnin'.
Our time's truer
And love is newer
 At daw-daw-dawnin'.

Whi' a mammy's arms press you,
 Why yaw-yawnin'?
Add all your little troubles,
Turn into bubbles,
 At dawnin'.
