The Little Red Rooster - Willie Dixon

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

(piano & instrumental)
