Chicken Shack Boogie - Original - Amos Milburn

If you see my rooster

Please run him on back home

If you see my rooster

Please run him on back home

I haven’t found no eggs in my basket

Since my rooster been gone

I heard my rooster crowing

This morning just about the break of day

I heard my rooster crowing

This morning just about the break of day

I guess that was the time he was making his getaway

I just found out how come my hens won’t lay

I just found out how come my hens won’t lay

Every time I look around my rooster have done gone away

Now play it, Bob

Tell me 'bout my rooster

I’ve got too many hens

For not to have no roosters on my yard

I’ve got too many hens

For not to have no roosters on my yard

And I don’t know what’s the matter

Something have done got 'em barred

Now, Bob, if you see my rooster

Please run him on back home

Now, Bob, if you see my rooster

Please run him on back home

I haven’t found no eggs in my basket

Since my rooster been gone
