Dave Bartholomew & Antoine Domino
 There was an old lady from Houston
 She had two hens and a rooster
 Her rooster died, the old lady cried
 "My hens don't lay like they used to!"

 Ain't that a shame!
 Ain't that a shame!
 Ain't that a shame
 She lost a helping hand

 Her next door neighbor O'Cappy
 He seems to be very happy
 He can play in his corn, they will grow long
 'Cause the old rooster is gone

 Ain't that a shame
 Ain't that a shame
 Ain't that a shame
 She lost a helping hand

 I know a lady named Sue
 Her rooster died too
 She didn't sigh, she didn't cry
 She made her a pot of stew

 Ain't that a shame
 Ain't that a shame
 Ain't that a shame
 She lost a helping hand
