The Rooster Song

There was an old lady from Houston She had two hens and a rooster Her rooster died, the old lady cried "My hens don't lay like they used to!" Ain't that a shame Ain't that a shame Ain't that a shame She lost a helping hand Her next door neighbor O' Cappy He seems to be very happy He can play in his corn, they will grow long Cause the old rooster is gone Ain't that a shame Ain't that a shame Ain't that a shame She lost a helping hand I know a lady named Sue Her rooster died too She didn't sigh, she didn't cry She made her a pot of stew Ain't that a shame Ain't that a shame Ain't that a shame She lost a helping hand There was an old lady from Houston She had two hens and a rooster Her rooster died, the old lady cried "My hens don't lay like they used to!" Ain't that a shame Ain't that a shame Ain't that a shame She lost a helping hand I know a lady named Sue Her rooster died too She didn't sigh, she didn't cry She made her a pot of stew Ain't that a shame Ain't that a shame Ain't that a shame She lost a helping hand --- The Rooster Song - Fats Domino
