Well, the sun's comin' up but I'm too blue to crow
Yeah, the sun's on the rise but I'm too blue to crow
It seems the chicky ain't been layin'
And Lord, she thinks that I don't know
Yeah, the talk's all over the barnyard that I've been had
Yeah, the talk's all over the barnyard that the rooster's been had
Hey, but the feather's gonna fly 'cause this old red rooster's mad
Hey, I thought, I heard somethin' leavin' from the hen house last night
Hey, I sure saw something leavin' from the hen house last night
Hey, she said, "It was a weasel, Lord", I don't think she's right
Hey, hey, black bull, won't you give me a line of talk?
Hey, hey, black bull, won't you give me a line of talk?
Hey, tell me what do you do
When your old heifer starts to balk?
Yeah, the talk's all over the barnyard that I've been had
Yeah, the talk's all over the barnyard that the rooster's been had
Hey, but the feather's gonna fly 'cause this old red rooster's mad
Hey, the sun's on the rise but the old red rooster's
Got the blues, got the blues, got the blues, blues, blues
The sun's comin' up, oh, I got the blues 'cause the chicky
I been seein', Lord, she's layin' somebody new
