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, 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'
