If you see my rooster   Please run him on back home   If you see my rooster   Please run him on back home   I haven't found no eggs in my basket   Since my rooster been gone      I heard my rooster crowing   This morning just about the break of day   I heard my rooster crowing   This morning just about the break of day      I guess that was the time he was making his getaway   I just found out how come my hens won't lay   I just found out how come my hens won't lay   Every time I look around my rooster have done gone away      Now play it, Bob   Tell me 'bout my rooster      I've got too many hens   For not to have no roosters on my yard   I've got too many hens   For not to have no roosters on my yard   And I don't know what's the matter   Something have done got 'em barred      Now, Bob, if you see my rooster   Please run him on back home   Now, Bob, if you see my rooster   Please run him on back home   I haven't found no eggs in my basket   Since my rooster been gone
