Banty Rooster Blues Meaning
[I’m gonna buy me a banty, put him at my backdoor I’m gonna buy me a banty, put him at my backdoor So when he see a stranger a-comin’, he’ll flap his wings and crow What you want with a rooster, he won’t crow ‘fore day What you want with a rooster, he won’t crow ‘fore day What you want with a man, when he won’t do nothin’ he say What you want with a hen won’t, cackle when she lays What you want with a hen won’t, cackle when she lays What you want with a woman, when she won’t do nothin’ I say Ah, take my picture, hang it up in Jackson wall Ah, take my picture, hang it up in Jackson wall Anybody asks you “What about it”, tell ’em “That’s all I saw” My hook’s in the water, and my cork’s on top My hook’s in the water, and my cork’s on top How can I lose, Lord, with the help I got I know my dog anywhere I hear him bark I know my dog anywhere I hear him bark I can tell my rider, if I feel her in the dark] |
