Taj Mahal - Little Red Hen lyrics

rate me

Well, li'l red hen said to lil'l red rooster

You don't come round here much as you used to

Now, hone,y you long gone,

Baby, you long gone, oh, you long gone

Just like a turkey through the corn

Ole grey mule said to the ole grey hen

Honey, now tell me where that rooster of yours have been

She said, he long gone, say, he long gone, oh, he long gone

Baby, like a turkey through the corn

Oh, that sweet gray goat say to that ole fat mule

You know people 'round here been talkin', tellin' me that you a fool

But they long gone, yes, they long gone, oh, they long gone

Honey, like a turkey through the corn

I been up North and I been down South an' I been to the Cas

I like the West and South the best

An I'll be long gone, yes, I'm long gone, I'm long gone

Honey, like a turkey through the corn

Tell me, baby, what's on your mind

I can see by your eyes that you ain't been cryin'

An' I been long gone, I been long gone, I been long gone

Honey, like a turkey through the corn

How you know the men don't like me 'cause I speak my mind

And the women crazy 'bout me 'cause I take my time

An I'm long gone, honey, I'm long gone, I'm long gone

Baby, just like a turkey through the corn

Well, li'l red hen said to lil'l red rooster

You don't come round here much as you used to

Now, hone,y you long gone,

Baby, you long gone, oh, you long gone

Just like a turkey through the corn

Well, you can take my potatoes up out that ground

Can put 'em in my oven, turn your damper down

Mama, now you know I'm long gone, honey, I'm long gone

I'm long gone, baby, like a turkey through the corn<br />
