Lyrics for 'I Had a Rooster'

I had a rooster, my rooster pleased me,
I fed my rooster 'neath the greenberry tree.
My little rooster went, "Cock-a-doo-dle doo,
Dee doo-dle-ee doo-dle-ee, doodle-ee do."

I had a dog, my dog pleased me,
I fed my dog 'neath the greenberry tree.
My little doggie went, "Ruff, ruff."
My little rooster went, "Cock-a-doo-dle doo,
Dee doo-dle-ee doo-dle-ee, doodle-ee do."

I had a kitty, my kitty pleased me,
I fed my kitty 'neath the greenberry tree.
My little kitty went, "Meow, meow."
My little doggie went, "Ruff, ruff."
My little rooster went, "Cock-a-doo-dle doo,
Dee doo-dle-ee doo-dle-ee, doodle-ee do."

I had a cow, my cow pleased me,
I fed my cow 'neath the greenberry tree.
My big old bossy cow went, "Moo, moo."
My little kitty went, "Meow, meow."
My little doggie went, "Ruff, ruff."
My little rooster went, "Cock-a-doo-dle doo,
Dee doo-dle-ee doo-dle-ee, doodle-ee do."

I had a sheep, my sheep pleased me,
I fed my sheep 'neath the greenberry tree.
My woolly sheep went, "Baa, baa."
My big old bossy cow went, "Moo, moo."
My little kitty went, "Meow, meow."
My little doggie went, "Ruff, ruff."
My little rooster went, "Cock-a-doo-dle doo,
Dee doo-dle-ee doo-dle-ee, doodle-ee do."
