Lyrics
The little red rooster called the little brown hen
You ain't laid an egg since I don't know then
And my baby
Sit down, baby
Sit down and rest a while
The girl said to the rabbit one day
Don't be no fool and try to win this race
Let's sit down
Sit down, baby
Sit down and rest a while
If you got good money
Won't you live a long time?
Don't be working like a mocking man
Just drink that old cherry wine, baby
My baby sit down
Sit down, baby
Sit down and rest a while
The CIO told the US
Still, we don't have to go for no nerdy deal
And my baby
Sit down, baby
Sit down and rest a while
