rooster

My rooster crows at dawn
My rooster crows at dawn
Don't do nothing when the dark come on.

You know it don't seem right
Ah it don't seem right
Bird oughta do something about it gettin' night

I ain't the criminal kind
I was never the criminal kind
I just do a little pilfering from time to time

It was around Muscle Shoals
It was around Muscle Shoals
I was crawlin' in a window, I got shot full of holes.

So it was at that time
It was at that time
I decided to forgo my life of crime

So I got me a guitar
Oh I got me a guitar
I play all night for some money in a jar

I got me a suit of clothes
I got a suit of clothes
I rarely get home before my rooster crows.

My rooster crows at dawn
My rooster crows at dawn
Don't do nothing when the dark come on.
