Lyrics Red Hen Hop - The Louvin Brothers

Well, the little red hen lives down the street
She does the Red Hen Hop with a drumstick beat
A chicken ain't a rooster if she can't make him crow
She done the Red Hen Hop till she broke the roostin' pole

Now, the little red hen don't know her age
But she don't worry 'bout turnin' gray
She does the Red Hen Hop every time she lays an egg
And if you eat her egg for breakfast, you're gonna do the hop all day

When all the other chickens are feelin' kinda blue
Well, the little red hen knows what to do
She gives out a party and they meet on a Saturday night
They do the Red Hen Hop till the moon goes out of sight

One night when the party was gettin' kinda cold
The little red hen said "give me room on the floor"
She grabbed her daddy, cause he knows how to do the hop right
They did the Red Hen Hop and they done it till broad daylight

Now, the old black rooster was a-peepin' through the crack
Said, "I never seen my feet since the day I was hatched"
Mama never told me what the Red Hen Hop has done
I'll do the Red Hen Hop till the day they throw me in the pot
