Lyrics Rockin' Red Rooster - Lonnie Brooks

Rocking Red Rooster

From the Alligator Records release Roadhouse Rules (AL 4843)
By Lonnie Brooks

My baby got my red rooster held up with a gun
Oh, she got my red rooster held up with a gun
She said "You've been chasing chicks and ain't given me none."

She got my rocking rooster cooped up in this old chicken shack
She got my red rocking rooster cooped up in this old chicken shack
She said "I'm holding him for ransom, and I'm grinding my new axe"

(Solo)

I said, "Baby, please, please don't do him in"
I said, "Baby, please don't you do him in
You know he's just a little cocky, and that never be no sin."

Don't choke my chicken, let my rooster go
Don't choke my chicken, let my rooster go
'Cause I still love you, baby, I guess I have to eat some crow
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
