Rhode Island Red (Greenbaum Norman)

Rhode Island Red Couldn't get up this mornin' He had a great big head And he couldn't stop yawnin' Been out hoopin' with the boys Drinkin' river whiskey He couldn't make a joyful noise This morning You better rest up Red You better stay in bed You better rest your head Rest up Red, or you'll be dead, oh yeah You'll be dead, and I said, I said Rhode Island Red You better rest up Red You better stay in bed You better rest your head Rest up Red, or you'll be dead, oh yeah You'll be dead, I said, I said Rhode Island Red I couldn't get up this mornin' He had a great big head And he couldn't stop yawnin'
