Little Red Rooster

I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the farm yard
Upset in every way
The dogs begin to bark, and my hounds begin to how!
The dog beggin to bark, and my hounds begin to how!
Watch out now people
Little red rooseter on the prow!
If you're about to see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
If you're about to see my little red rooster
Please set back home
Ain't had no peace in the farm yard
Since my little red rooster's been gone
