Rooster Lyrics

Ray Wylie Hubbard Rooster

My rooster crows at dawn
My rooster crows at dawn
He don't do nothin' when the dark come on
You know it don't seem right
It don't seem right
Bird ought'a do somethin' 'bout it gettin' night

I ain't the criminal kind
I's never the criminal kind
I just do a little pilfering from time to time
So around Muscle Shoals
So around Muscle Shoals
I's crawling in a window, I got shot full of holes

So it was at that time
It was at that time
I decided to forego my life of crime
So I got me a guitar
Oh I got me a guitar
I play all night from 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
My rooster crows at dawn
My rooster crows at dawn
He don't do nothin' when the dark come on
