Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
He keeps everything in the barnyard
Upset in every way
[Verse 2]
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 little red rooster's on the prowl
[Verse 3]
He keeps all the hens
Fighting among themselves
Keeps all the hens
Fighting among themselves
He don't want no hens in the barnyard
Laying eggs for nobody else
[Verse 4]
Oh ho oh
Yeah
Oh, mmmmm
Play the song
Yeah
[Verse 5]
Let me tell everybody
Well if you see my red rooster
Oh, send him home
Said if you see my red rooster
Oh, send him home
I ain't had no peace in the barnyard
Since my little red rooster's been gone
[Verse 6]
Oh, little led rooster
Won't somebody send him home
Oh, I want my little red rooster
Oh, send him home
Oh, somebody send my red rooster
He's been gone too long
Oh
Come home
Send him on home
Send him on home
Send him on home
[Verse 7]
I want that red rooster
Won't somebody send him home
Oh, I ain't had no peace in the barnyard
Oh, since my red rooster's been gone
Somebody
Somebody
[Verse 8]
Send him on home
Send him on home
Send that rooster
Send him on home
