Gus Cannon - The Rooster Crowing Blues lyrics

Can tell me what makes a rooster crow at the break of day It's hey-eee -- at the break of day That's to let the rounder know the working man is on his way It's hey-eee, he is on his way It's hey-eee, he is on his way That's to let the rounder know the working man is on his way I used to be a lover, baby, in my younger days It's hey-eee, in my younger days Now I'm old and feeble but I still got my lovin' ways (Sing it Mr. Woods, sing it) Hey-eee -- in my younger days It's hey-eee -- in my younger days Now I'm old and feeble but I still got my lovin' ways I'll tell you partner, why I ain't got a friend [ (Woods singin' 'bout [Beebee/Phoebe] now) ] Hey-eee -- why I ain't got a friend They'll take your baby from you, get right in your face and grin
