I AIN'T YOUR HEN, MR. FLY ROOSTER

Martha Copeland


Cat, keep away from my shack
Cat, don't you ever come back
Never no hug, and never no kiss
Forever more remember this:

I ain't your hen, mister fly rooster
So don't crow in my back yard
Here's one chicken you ain't peckin'
The day you try you'll find it hard
When you hear me cackle don't you stop and snatch
Cause your kind of chickens that will never hatch
I ain't your hen, mister fly rooster
So don't crow in my back yard

I ain't your hen, mister fly fly rooster
So don't crow in my back yard
Here's one chicken you ain't peckin'
The day you try you'll find it hard
You and I ain't never gonna come to terms
Find some other chicken, I don't need your worms
I ain't your hen, mister fly fly rooster
So don't crow in my back yard

- solo -

I ain't your hen, mister fly old rooster
So don't crow in my back yard
Here's one chicken you ain't peckin'
The day you try you'll find it hard
Found a sweet young rooster and he makes me proud
When you see him round me don't you crow too loud
I ain't your hen mister fly old rooster
So don't crow in my back yard
So don't crow in my back yard
