Little Red Rooster
Lyrics: Willie Dixon
Music: Willie Dixon
I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow the day
I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow the day
Keeps everything in the barnyard
Upset in every way
Well if you see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
Well if you see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
Ain't been no peace in the barnyard
Since my little red rooster's been gone
Well all the dogs begin to bark
And all the hounds begin to howl
Well all the dogs begin to bark
And all the hounds begin to howl
Watch out strange kin people
Little red rooster's on the prowl
I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow the day
I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow the day
Keeps everything in the barnyard
Upset in every way

Variations (2)
2. Brent sometimes sang an additional verse:Hey there, little red rooster
You ain't shit to me
You think you're a stud, boy
Well I doubt, I doubt you'll ever be
While you're away, I'm gonna fuck with your henhouse
I'm just being neighborly
