banty rooster blues - charley patton lyrics
i’m gonna buy me a banty, put him at my backdoor
i’m gonna buy me a banty, put him at my backdoor
so when he see a stranger a-comin’, he’ll flap his wings and crow
what you want with a rooster, he won’t crow ‘fore day?
what you want with a rooster, he won’t crow ‘fore day?
what you want with a man, when he won’t do nothin’ he say?
what you want with a hen won’t, cackle when she lays?
what you want with a hen won’t, cackle when she lays?
what you want with a woman, when she won’t do nothin’ i say?
ah, take my picture, hang it up in jackson wall1
ah, take my picture, hang it up in jackson wall
anybody asks you “what about it”, tell ’em “that’s all i saw”
my hook’s in the water, and my cork’s on top
my hook’s in the water, and my cork’s on top
how can i lose, lord, with the help i got
i know my dog anywhere i hear him bark
i know my dog anywhere i hear him bark
i can tell my rider, if i feel her in the dark
