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, eehhee, 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

(spoken: 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, eeeooo, 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, eeeheee, since my rooster been gone
