Lyrics

I got a lil' red rooster too lazy to crow 'fore day I got a lil' red rooster too lazy to crow 'fore day He keeps everything in the barnyard upset in every way The dogs begin to bark, the hounds begin to howl The dogs begin to bark, the hounds begin to howl Watch out, all you kin folk, my lil' red rooster's on the prowl I tell you that he keeps all the hens fightin' among themselves Keeps all the hens fightin' among themselves He don't want no hen in the barnyard layin' eggs for nobody else, no Yeah, play it, Billy Answer him, Ray Lord have mercy, yeah Oh, yeah I like that, mm-hmm Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Let me tell everybody Now if you see my red rooster, send him home Said if you see my red rooster, send him home I ain't had no peace in the barnyard since my red rooster been gone
