Rhode Island Red

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, 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'
