Little Red Rooster Lyrics
I have a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day
I have a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the barnyard, upset in every way
Oh the dogs begin to bark,
and the hound begin to howl
Oh the dogs begin to bark, hound begin to howl
Ooh watch out strange kind people,
Cause little red rooster is on the prowl
If you see my little red rooster, please drag him home
If you see my little red rooster, please drag him home
There ain't no peace in the barnyard,
Since the little red rooster been gone
I have a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the barnyard, upset in every way
and the hound begin to howl
Oh the dogs begin to bark, hound begin to howl
Ooh watch out strange kind people,
Cause little red rooster is on the prowl
If you see my little red rooster, please drag him home
There ain't no peace in the barnyard,
Since the little red rooster been gone

Classic blues metaphor for the onset of impotence ...
Typical of blues classics, this song is a thinly veiled reference to sex. Although it probably should have been big red rooster:-)
I think that it is a reference to sex, but the reference is to impotence. "I am the little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day". Follow this meaning through the song and it seems to work.
