Lyrics Rhode Island Red - Norman Greenbaum

Rhode Island Red
Couldn't get up this mornin'
He had a great big head
And he couldn't stop yawnin'

Been out hoopin' with the boys
Drinkin' river whiskey
He couldn't make a joyful noise
This morning

You better rest up Red
You better stay in bed
You better rest your head
Rest up Red, or you'll be dead, oh yeah
You'll be dead, and I said, I said

Rhode Island Red

You better rest up Red
You better stay in bed
You better rest your head
Rest up Red, or you'll be dead, oh yeah
You'll be dead, I said, I said

Rhode Island Red
I couldn't get up this mornin'
He had a great big head
And he couldn't stop yawnin'
