I had a little red rooster Too lazy to crow 'fore day I had a little red rooster Too lazy to crow 'fore day He kept ev'rything in the barnyard Eager settin' a-ready to lay
You know the dogs begin to bark And the, the hounds They begin to howl You know the dogs they begin to bark And the, the hounds They begin to howl You know my little red rooster's gone Know the little red rooster's on the prowl
(harmonica & instrumental)
Now, if you see my little red rooster Somebody, please drive him home Now, if you seen my little red rooster Somebody, ple-eee-ase run 'em home There ain't been no peace in the barnyard Since my little red rooster been gone.
