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
