Rhode Island Red

Couldn't get up this morning

He had a great big head.

And I couldn't stop yawning.

Been out hooping with the boys.

I drink in a 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 paw, or you'll be dead.

Oh, yeah!

I said, I said.

Red, I couldn't get up this morning.

And it couldn't stop yawning.
