Little Red Rooster Songtext
von Otis Rush

I got a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day
I′ve got little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day
He keeps everything in the barnyard, upset in every way

You know, he keeps all the hens
Fighting among themselves
I said he keeps all the hens
Fighting among themselves
He don't want ′em in the barnyard
Layin' eggs for nobody else


You know, the dogs begin to bark
The hounds begin to howl
The dogs begin to bark
The hounds begin to howl
You better watch out all you kin folks
My little red rooster's on the prowl

I said he keeps all the hens
Fighting among themselves
I said he keeps all the hens
Fighting among themselves
He don′t want ′em in the barnyard
Layin' eggs for nobody else

Now if you see my red rooster
Send him home
Now if you see my red rooster
Send him home
It ain′t been no peace in the barnyard
Since my little red rooster's been gone
