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

[ guitar ]

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...

[ harmonica ]

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
