The Duck And The Rooster Lyrics - Country Songs For Children - Tom T. Hall

(Tom T. Hall) 

It'd take me a minute to tell you this rhyme 

Of the duck and the rooster that I knew one time 

A little duck hatched out a day or two late 

His mama had already gone to the lake. 

The little red rooster had broken his foot 

So I put him into a little ole coop 

The little white duck was left out on his own 

So I put them together until they were grown.

Well, the duck thought the rooster was limping and lame 

The rooster believed that the duck was the same 

And so they were pals in the coop in the barn 

They huddled together when it came a storm. 

Well, the weeks they went by and the little guys grew 

The little duck quacked and the rooster cocky dooed 

The duck loved the water and the rooster would scratch 

And neither one knew why they acted like that. 

--- Instrumental --- 

Well, one day I turned them both free on the farm 

The rooster went straight to a roost in the barn 

The little duck went to the lake for a swim 

They liked different things even though they were friends.

Well, now you should hear them when they say hello 

Though it may sound funny I know that it is so 

I know that is strange but I'll tell you it's true 

When they talk they go quacky doodle do...
