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

Dogs begin to bark,
And the hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to bark,
And the hounds begin to howl
Watch out all you kin folk,
My little red rooster's on the prowl

I tell you that he keeps all the hens
Fighting among themselves
Keeps all the hens
Fighting among themselves
He don't want no hen in the barnyard
Layin' eggs for nobody else

Let me tell everybody...

Now If you see my red rooster
Send him home
Said If you see my red rooster
Send him home
I ain't had no peace in the barnyard
Since my red rooster's been gone
