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...
