Well I finally got a job last Monday I hadn't worked in a month to Sunday

And everything was gettin' hungry but everything's all right now



So gather round all you children gather round all you children

Gather round all you children cause I'm a gonna feed you now



Well my horses're gettin' skinny I'd've fed 'em if I hadn't any

But I didn't even have a penny but I'm a gonna feed 'em now

Cause I got a job last Monday...

Well the hogs started to gruntin' and the old dogs started huntin'

And boy that's really somethin' and I'm a gonna feed 'em now

So gather round all you children...



Well the hens they all stopped layin' and the baby chicks started to strayin'

And the old rooster's even a prayin' but I'm a gonna feed 'em now

Cause I got a job last Monday...

So gather round all you children...
