I used to live in the country by the high lonesome hill
Crow by day, by night the whip-poor-will
I used to live in the country by the high lonesome hill
Crow by day, by night the whip-poor-will
‘Cause I’m satisfied, tickled too
Just to be with you

Said the little red hen to the little red rooster
« You don’t come around the chicken shack like ya used to »
Said the little red hen to the little red rooster
« You don’t come around the chicken shack like ya used to »
‘Cause I’m satisfied, ticked too
Just to be with you

You’re my baby, you’re the one
You can throw your arms around me like a circle round the sun
I said you’re my baby, you’re the one
You can throw your arms around me, circle round the sun
‘Cause I’m satisfied, tickled too
Just to be with you
