A friend of mine... white guy (but has played guitar with Bo Diddly,
Muddy Waters, and Brownie McGhee...) & a sober alcoholic said to me:

"I woke up this morning... and that is a Good Thing!"

***

But when *I* woke up this morning...
I had grinding on my mind
So I pulled out my coffee grinder
got to be grinding all the time...

yeah...

I had to grind it myself,
cause my rooster done gone away...
Now it's just me and the coffee grinder...
all alone in the barnyard hay...

So if see my rooster,
please run him on back home...
(but *until* that rooster comes home...)

& you can play my piano you can bang my box...
and have some cherry pie...
(Now let me squeeze that lemon, honey)

But my red red rooster,
he's a such a long way from home...
He's at the neighbor's barnyard...
Why he want to do me wrong?

Think I'll get me a bumblebee...
who don't sting nobody  but me...
And he'll make me sweet honey...
and he'll have all the stinger I need...

Still, I was sitting her wondering...
would a matchbox hold my clothes?
Cause I ain't got no matches,
Maybe I'll find somewhere to go...

Hey, do you have a rooster, honey?
Well, you better keep him by your side...
'cause if he hops my boxcar, girlfriend,
I'm bound to let him ride...

Yeah...
