DAYLIGHTS A-BREAKIN'. Copyright, 1890, by Spaulding & Kornder. Words and Music by Barney Fagan. 
Daylight's a-breakin', hear the rooster crowin', Wake up everybody, see the sun rise; Mornin' larks a-singin', dewdrops a-fallin'; Clouds am a-gitin' mighty scarce in de skies; Buzzards fly together In stormy weather; Cream am a-sourin' when it begins to turn; Ducks quack, quackin' when the rain am a-pourln'; Pigs all a-rootin' while the dairy -maids churn. 
Chorus. Daylight's a-breakin', hear the rooster crowin'. Wake up everybody, see the sun rise: Mornin' larks a-singin', dewdrops a-fallin'; Clouds am a-gittin' mighty scarce in the skiea. 
Honey-bee hummin' when the Winter's comin" ; Lean horse hobbles, interfering with his shins; Big bull-frog am noisy, growlin' In thicket: Colored man suffer mighty hard for his sins; Possom keep a-climbin' whar de simmon grow; If you want to catch a rabbit, don't be too slow; Cricket chirp louder When the day am speut; Nigger dreamin' policy and never gets a cent.-Chorus. 
Tom-cat a-hidin' while the old hen's hatchin'; Smack at my lips a when de hoe-cake's hot; Sparrer-hawk a-peepin' while de chicken's scratchin'; Gravy am a-waitin' for the 'taters in the pot; Mule fine as silk when you feed him on clover; Chip-monk am happy, just a-hoppin' in de tree; Owl am wide-awake when daylight's over; Hog starts a-runnin' When de jackass sneeze.-Chorus.
