Caught a rustle round the hen house But I know it ain't a roof rat
Something funky in the barnyard
Got a hunch it ain't a loose cat
Little birdie chirping round the cage
Saying daddy ain't crow for days
My mama she told me
You got to keep up on the feed I warn ya
You're bound to get vultures come
Down to swoop, round your rooster coop
Heard a shuffle round the scarecrow
Little cackle in the corn field
Gonna have to get the hog dog
Try to see what's going on here
Heard a creaking by the weather vane
Ain't no sign of the wind or rain
My mama she told me, eventually you gonna reap what sowed ya
Before it throws ya for a loop, round that rooster coop
While you're peepin' round the the old man's yard looking for a bite,
Mama hen laying in the pen,
With her own little appetite, little appetite
Early in the morning little mama crow,
Tell it ain't right by the new way she low Early in morning milk cow
Cry, ain't had no butter since her bull ain't been by Well if a horse
Was a worry about that gal,
I'd have a little calvary bout a mile long by now
There they go walking two by two while I wonder
What's little bitty boy to do Well my mama she told me
Keep it tidy where ya eat, I warn ya
What's good for the gander might
Tempt the goose, round your rooster coop
