Little Red Hen Blues

(One, two, three, four)

Well, little red hen said to little red rooster

You don't come 'round here much as you used to

Now, honey, you long gone, baby, you long gone

Oh, you long gone, make like a turkey through the corn

The ol' grey mule say to that ol' grey hen

Honey, now tell me where that rooster of yours have been

She said, he long gone, say, he long gone

Oh, he long gone, baby, like a turkey through the corn

Oh, that sweet gray goat say to that ol' fat mule

You know people 'round here been talkin', tellin' me that you a fool

But they long gone, yes, they long gone

Oh, they long gone, honey, like a turkey, corn

Through the corn, through the corn

I been up north and I been down south and I been to the east

Say, I like the west and south the best

And I'll be long gone, yes, I'm long gone

I am long gone, honey, like a turkey through the corn

Tell me, baby, what's on your mind

I can see by your eyes that you ain't been cryin'

An' I been long gone, I been long gone

I been long gone, honey, like a turkey through the corn

Now, you know the men don't like me 'cause I speak my mind

And the women crazy 'bout me 'cause I take my time

An' I'm long gone, honey, I'm long gone

I am long gone, baby, just like a turkey through the corn

Solo now (solo now)

Now, the little red hen said to the little red rooster, now

Baby, now, you don't come 'round here much as you used to

You're long gone, now, you long gone

Say, baby, you long gone, honey, like a turkey through the corn

(Turkey through the corn)

Well, you can take my potatoes up out that ground

You can put 'em in my oven, turn your damper down

Mama, now, you know I'm long gone, honey, I'm long gone

I am long gone, baby, like a turkey through the corn

(Long gone)

(Like a turkey through the corn)

(Long gone)

(Like a turkey through the corn)

(Long gone)

(Like a turkey through the corn)
