Lonnie Johnson - Crowing Rooster Blues Lyrics

What makes a rooster crow every mornin' 'fore day?
What makes a rooster crow every mornin' 'fore day?
To let the pimps and ramblers know that the workin' man is on his way

You can always tell when your woman's man has come to town
You can always tell when your woman's man is come to town
She will put on her best panties and dress and steal herself a sleepin' gown

Men, don't you know there's no way to keep your sweet woman home
Men, don't you know there's no way to keep your sweet woman home
Oh, there always some other good man to beat you doin'
What you tryin' to carry on

If you buy your woman plenty of silk things, don't buy them all in one time
If you buy your woman plenty of silk things, don't buy them all in one time
She will get ramblin' in her brain and some travelin' man on her mind
