in G
I Chave a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for Gday.
I Cgotta little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for Gday.
D Keeps everything in the farm yard,
C Upset in every Gway.
The Cdogs begin to bark,
and the hounds begin to Ghowl.
D Watch out strange cat people
C Little red rooster's on the Gprowl.
CIf you see my little red rooster
Please drive him Ghome.
D There's been no peace in the farm yard,
C Since my rooster's been Ggone.
First recorded by Chester "Howlin' Wolf" Burnett in 1961.
