Rooster

Album: Growl

ROOSTER

 

My rooster crows at dawn

My rooster crows at dawn

Don’t do nothing when the dark come in.

 

You know it don’t seem right

Ah it don’t seem right

Bird oughta do something about it gettin’ night

 

I ain’t the criminal kind

I was never the criminal kind

I just do a little pilfering from time to time

 

It was around Muscle Shoals

It was around Muscle Shoals

I was crawlin’ in a window, got shot full of holes.

 

So it was at that time

It was at that time

I decided to forgo my life of crime

 

So I got me got me a guitar

Oh I got me a guitar

I play all night for some money in a jar

 

I got me a suit of clothes

I got a suit of clothes

I rarely get home before my rooster crows.
