LYRICS

I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
He keeps everything in the barnyard
Upset in every way

The dogs begin to bark
the hounds begin to hound
the dogs begin to bark
the hounds begin to hound
watch out all you kinfolkt,
my little red rooster's on the prowl

I tell you he keeps all the hens fightin among themselves
he keeps all the hens fightin among themselves
he don't want no hen in the barnyard
laying eggs for nobody else

if you see my red rooster
send him home
said if you see my red rooster
send him home
I had no peace in the barnyard
since my red rooster been gone
