The Rooster Song Lyrics

There was an old lady from Houston
She had two hens and a rooster
Her rooster died, the old lady cried
"My hens don't lay like they used to!"Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
She lost a helping handHer next door neighbor O' Cappy
He seems to be very happy
He can play in his corn, they will grow long
Cause the old rooster is goneAin't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
She lost a helping handI know a lady named Sue
Her rooster died too
She didn't sigh, she didn't cry
She made her a pot of stewAin't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame

She lost a helping handThere was an old lady from Houston
She had two hens and a rooster
Her rooster died, the old lady cried
"My hens don't lay like they used to!"Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
She lost a helping handI know a lady named Sue
Her rooster died too
She didn't sigh, she didn't cry
She made her a pot of stewAin't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
She lost a helping hand
