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 wall

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
