Little Red Hen Blues

Well, li'l red hen said to lil'l red rooster 
 You don't come round here much as you used to 
 Now, hone,y you long gone, 
 Baby, you long gone, oh, you long gone 
 Just like a turkey through the corn 

 Ole grey mule said to the ole 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 ole 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 through the corn 

 I been up North and I been down South an' I been to the Cas 
 I like the West and South the best 
 An I'll be long gone, yes, I'm long gone, I'm 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 

 How 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'm long gone 
 Baby, just like a turkey through the corn 

 Well, li'l red hen said to lil'l red rooster 
 You don't come round here much as you used to 
 Now, hone,y you long gone, 
 Baby, you long gone, oh, you long gone 
 Just like a turkey through the corn 

 Well, you can take my potatoes up out that ground 
 Can put 'em in my oven, turn your damper down 
 Mama, now you know I'm long gone, honey, I'm long gone 
 I'm long gone, baby, like a turkey through the corn
