When the Rooster Leaves the Yard

歌詞

I took a job away from home to make my income grow 'Cause my baby wouldn't go with me, I thought I'd take it slow I waited for her mood to change, I wrote till I got tired Now I'm wondering what goes on when the rooster leaves the yard A rooster is the king, on his yard he sets the pace I'd go back and run mine but I'm afraid I've been replaced My baby writes to me but her words are cold and hard Now I'm wondering what goes on when the rooster leaves the yard I do my job or should I say I do it half way right My mind is on my baby and where she goes every night She used to own me there, my roostering she got tired Now I'm wondering what goes on when the rooster leaves the yard The rooster is the king, on his yard he sets the pace I'd go back and run mine but I'm afraid I've been replaced My baby writes to me but her words are cold and hard Now I'm wondering what goes on when the rooster leaves the yard Yes, I'm wondering what goes on when the rooster leaves the yard
