Whatcha gonna do when the plowin's done? Workin' all day in the heat of the sun The game's been caught; the bread's been won Whatcha gonna do when the plowin's done? What I'm gonna do when the plowin's done Is take some time just to have some fun Say the barn-dance just begun That's where I'm goin' when the plowin's done Whatcha gonna do when the daylight's gone Twilight settles and the shade grows long The whippoorwill sings his favorite song Whatcha gonna do when the daylight's gone? What I'm gonna do when the daylight's gone Is take you to the dance if you'll come along The down-home past time can't go wrong That's what I'm doing when the daylight's gone Whatcha gonna do when the moonlight's gone And dewdrops settle on the farmer's lawn I'm gonna stay right here and dance till dawn That's what I'm doing when the moonlight's gone
