I had a rooster , so grand
a fine tail of colourful feathers
a bright red comb on his head
how that bird could strut

To see him you'd think
no you would know
the king of the barn
for sure he was

He'd dig up some worms
then call his girls
they'd come a-running
to share in the treat

o h boy, could he crow
his voice ringing out
from dawn to dusk
letting every one know

What time of day
his chicks so cute
they followed his lead
what a din made my ears ring

He ruled his roost
chased off his foes
until sadly one day
he passed away

Now his sons
take his place
on the barn fence
and life carries on
