Lyrics
Rooster Dale Robbins Sept.2014
Em
We got moonshine on the table...and chicken.... on the grill.
A Em
When the big old moon gets a shinning...We got a party... up on the hill.
B
You can bet your bottom dollar.....
A Em
That old rooster's running that still...
We got catfish in the water...and the hay's up in the barn
We got a good notion for fighting...When the sheriff comes sniffing around.
*** Cause you can bet your bottom dollar, He's a running after rooster's still. ***
We got sweet corn in the valley, hey hey...and the melons... on the hill.
We got the prettiest girls in the valley...Lord they sure give me a thrill.
*** And you can bet your bottom dollar, that old rooster's a running them still. ***
*Lead Break*
You won't find no better friends...You won't' find.. no better town...
I said, You won't find no better holler...You won't find... no better crowd
***But don't you wonder threw them woods
Cause old rooooster's a running, that still.***
*Lead Break*
Yeah, Old rooster... he's a running still..
Old roosters out there running....yeah he's a running for the thrill
Yeah you can bet your bottom dollar... old roosters running that still. (Repeat)
