Crowing Rooster Blues - Robert Nighthawk

What makes a rooster

Crow every mornin' 'fore day?

Yes, what makes a rooster

Crow every mornin' 'fore day?

To let the pimps and ramblers know

That the workin' man is on his way

Well, a woman’ll swear that she love you

And love you with all her might

Yes, a woman’ll swear that she love you

And love you with all her might

And’ll meet another man right around the corner

And will tell that same line twice

Well, I drink to keep from worrying

And I smile just to keep from cryin'

Yes, I drink to keep from worrying

Smile just to keep from cryin'

Well, that’s just to keep people from knowin'

What I have on my mind
