Little Red Rooster [Alternate Take]

I've got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I had a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
He keeps everything in the barnyard
He upsets it every way

You know he keeps all the hens fighting among themselves
I said he keeps all the hens fighting among themselves
He don't want 'em in the barnyard laying eggs for nobody else

You know, the dogs begin to bark
The hounds begin to howl
The dogs begin to bark
The hounds begin to howl
You better watch out all you kin folks
My little red rooster's on the prowl

I said he keeps all the hens fighting among themselves
I said he keeps all the hens fighting among themselves
He don't want 'em in the barnyard laying eggs for nobody else

Now if you see my red rooster, send him on home
Now if you see my red rooster, send him home
It ain't been no peace in the barnyard
Since my little red rooster's been gone
