When I rise up tomorrow to greet the morning sun
When I rise up tomorrow to greet the morning sun
Bring to me good fortune before the day is done
Golden rays from heaven for money have I none
To buy a horse and mule to travel o'er the land
To buy a horse and mule to travel o'er the land
Water from the river to cross the desert sand
To the soil for seed I'll harvest by my hand
To buy a ship and canvas for the oceans I will sail
To buy a ship and canvas for the oceans I will sail
And when my nets are full with the songs of a whale
I'll return tomorrow to tell my great tale
When I rise up tomorrow to greet the morning sun
When I rise up tomorrow to greet the morning sun
I'll be with good fortune though money have I none
I'll touch the golden heaven when the day is done
