Grateful Dead - Little Red Rooster Lyrics






I'm a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
Just a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
Keep everything in the barnyard people, upset in every way

Dogs begin to bark now and the hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to bark now and the hounds begin to howl
Watch out stray cat people the little red rooster is on the prowl

If you see the little red rooster, won't you please drive him home
If you see my little red rooster, won't you please drive him home
Been no peace in the barnyard people, since the little red rooster's been gone

[Brent rap]

Yeah and the little red rooster, well you ain't shit to me
Think you're a stud boy, well I doubt you'll ever be
While your away I'm gonna fuck with your hens, boy
I'm just bein' neighborly

    @Spencer Rye Bump for favorite Mydland memory. Also for Bobby's iconic short shorts.

    No one does Rooster like the Dead..Real blues, its all about Brent for me, love when he takes the verse n nails the solo..Good example of Brent era Dead.

    D.... ....

Bless you, and God bless the Grateful Dead!!! ❤ (I love it all, from Bobby's 1980s short shorts, to the look on Mickey's face with his mullet in a ponytail, to Tigerlily, to Brent stealing the face off the show around the 3:40 mark!!!) *Smile, smile, smile :)

  26. J.... M....

    I love Brent more and more every time I hear him play that organ. This is probably my favorite version of this song although there are quite a few that are real close.

    J.... M....

    hi dad I like Grateful Dead

  27. G.... S....

    i saw that also, no ideas. some keyboards/organ have whammy bar style distortion toggles... but they don't look like that... must be an effect?

    G.... S....

    It is a leslie speaker cabinet Brent loved it toggled w his left hand just below keyboard. Dolbyeffect.

    G.... S....

    Brent was a master at toggling the Leslie switch for that doppler effect.
    Musicians of that era worked with what they had, and they were better musicians for it!

  28. E.... ....

    This place got blown the hell up after this show went down......l.i.t.e.r.a.l.l.y.!
    or did Brent blow it up?
    100,000 deadheads at this show........EPIC!

    E.... ....

    ExtremeBrushClearing my dad was at this show

  29. H.... C....

    what is the little toggle switch Brent keeps switching back and forth? its on the lower left side of his organ...when he solos he keeps messing with it...what does that do? what an amazing instrument it is; and he really is amazing on it...all soul.

  30. E.... ....

    Bob & Phil are the fashion plates here! Brent, simply awesome on the Hammond!

  31. T.... M....

    Brent is the fuckin man!

  32. O.... L....

    Yeah, cameraman at 6:36, get right on up under Bobby Shorties-Shorts Weir!

  33. G.... B....

    4:16 - Brent shows what being neighborly is all about. At this point, it was his song. I always love the shots of other members during his balls to the wall organ solos. Billy at 4:39 and Phil at 5:26. Just feelin' that shit.

  34. V.... M....

    Brent. That is all.

  35. H.... W....

    What a great show it was.

  36. 4.... ....

    Sweet version, Thanks for the post ! We left JFK a Brokedown Palace .Structural Damage was what the obituary said . Front page news.
