The Morning Show on Minnesota Public Radio plays this song every Monday at 7:04 a.m. To listen to it, play one of their archived shows (for example, here) and skip to 1:04:00 from the beginning of the program.

WHEN THE PRAIRIE SUN CLIMBS OUT OF THE HAY
Glenn Spencer, Tim Spencer

1. When the prairie sun climbs out of the hay
And spreads a blanket of light to herd the stars from the night,
We'll hit the old corral with a cowboy yell,
When the prairie sun climbs out of the hay.

2. You can hear them buckskins stompin' around.
The boss is happy to know the gang is rarin' to go.
You'll hear the hoofbeat pound on the frosty ground
When the prairie sun climbs out of the hay.

3. It's early mornin' on the rollin' range.
The roundup has begun;
And we'll be rockin' on the rollin' range
When we see that rising sun.

[REPEAT 1 & 2]

4. We'll saddle 'em up by the light of the moon
And wait for the break of day.
They seem to know that pretty soon
We'll be ramblin' on our way.

5. You can tie your beddin' up in a knot.
We'll see a lot of the plains before we need 'em again.
Just let that bacon fry. We'll be ridin' high
When the prairie sun climbs out of the hay.

[Recorded by The Sons of the Pioneers on "The Essential Collection," Varese CD 066439, 2003.]
