The Rooster Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There was an old lady from Houston
She had two hens and a rooster
Her rooster died, the old lady cried
My hens don't lay like they used to!
Ain't that a shame!
Ain't that a shame!
Ain't that a shame
She lost a helping hand
Her next door neighbor O'Cappy
He seems to be very happy
He can play in his corn, they will grow long
'Cause the old rooster is gone
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
She lost a helping hand
I know a lady named Sue
Her rooster died too
She didn't sigh, she didn't cry
She made her a pot of stew
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
She lost a helping hand
