Banty Rooster Blues

Banty Rooster Blues - Charley Patton

I'm goanna buy me a panty put him at my backdoor

I'm goanna buy me a panty put him at my backdoor

So when he see a stranger coming 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 nothing 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 nothing 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 them 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
