In the early morning rain,
With my lunchbag in my mitt,
With an aching in my joints,
My shoes full of muddy grit.

No further now is there to go,
For my workplace I have reached,
In the early morning rain,
With the front-door lock unbreached...

See the falling rain all 'round,
See the silver clouds on high,
Some time soon I shall get warm,
When someone else to work arrives...

Erm, is Gordon Lightfoot still alive, and if so, will he sue? :-)

'tis amusing...

If he IS still alive, can I sue him for mental cruelty inflicted on me in the early '70s by his interminable albums of earnest arty-folk??

These were the only verses of this song that I could remember whilst standing in the rain... I know I have some sheet music for it somewhere - we had to do it for choir some time around 1995. As I remember, it was 20 pages or so.

I don't remember ever performing the song with the choir - but we did learn it.

The things we learn for choirs...

I remember spending what seemed like an entire term learning a dreadful, interminable song called 'Sunny Summer Sunday' for our school choir, but for the life of me I have no memory of ever performing it. Thankfully, I've never encountered the song since - in any shape or form. Makes me wonder if one of our teachers wrote it, then got cold feet as the public debut approached & withdrew it. A belated attack of good taste & public decency, say I.
