If you see my rooster, please run him on back home
 I haven't found no eggs in my basket, eehhee, since my rooster been gone

 I heard my rooster crowing, this morning just about the break of day
 I heard my rooster crowing, this morning just about the break of day
 I guess that was the time he was making his getaway

 I just found out how come my hens won't lay
 I just found out how come my hens won't lay
 Every time I look around my rooster have done gone away

 (spoken: Now play it, Bob
 Tell me 'bout my rooster)

 I've got too many hens for not to have no roosters on my yard
 I've got too many hens for not to have no roosters on my yard
 And I don't know what's the matter, eeeooo, something have done got 'em barred

 Now, Bob, if you see my rooster, please run him on back home
 Now, Bob, if you see my rooster, please run him on back home
 I haven't found no eggs in my basket, eeeheee, since my rooster been gone
