Lonnie Johnson Crowin' Rooster Blues Lyrics

What makes the rooster : crow every morning before day
To let the pimps know : that the workingman is on his way

We're up before sunrise : slaving sixteen hours a day
We pay our house rent and grocery bills : and the pimps
get the rest of our pay

Men can't you see : you can't keep a whole woman by yourself
If your best friend can't get your woman : he'll frame
her for somebody else

Something about some women : that I never could
understand
They're not satisfied with a good husband : they want
some other woman's man
