I’ll Rise When the Rooster Crows Binkley Brothers Dixie Clodhoppers on the CD " Nashville: the Early String Bands Vol. I", County CD-3521. 
Chorus: I’ll rise when the rooster crows I’ll rise when the rooster crows I’m going back south where the sun shines hot Oh down where the sugar cane grows 
Verses: If the golden shoes you hear so much about Was worn down here you’d soon wear ’em out We’re gonna take up ’em yonder for to put on my robes Gonna put on my golden shoes 
Don’t let old Satan try to fool you For the gates’ll be closed and you can’t get through With a long white robe and the white socks too Gonna put on my golden shoes 
When Gabriel comes for to blow his horn Well you needn’t pull back for you gotta go on So prepare yourself for the judgment day For you can’t take money and buy your way 
We’ll have cider all the fall For I said I’s going to the ball Where the duck chews tobacco and the goose drinks wine The old hen cackle while the rooster keeps the time 
Whatcha gonna do when the women all dead? Gonna sit in the corner with a hung down head Well if I had to marry I wouldn’t marry for riches I’d marry a big fat gal who couldn’t wear the britches
