[Verse 1]
Well, li'l red hen said to lil'l red rooster
You don't come round here much as you used to
Now, hone,y you long gone
Baby, you long gone, oh, you long gone
Just like a turkey through the corn
[Verse 2]
Ole grey mule said to the ole grey hen
Honey, now tell me where that rooster of yours have been
She said, he long gone, say, he long gone, oh, he long gone
Baby, like a turkey through the corn
[Verse 3]
Oh, that sweet gray goat say to that ole fat mule
You know people 'round here been talkin', tellin' me that you a fool
But they long gone, yes, they long gone, oh, they long gone
Honey, like a turkey through the corn
[Verse 4]
I been up North and I been down South an' I been to the Cas
I like the West and South the best
An I'll be long gone, yes, I'm long gone, I'm long gone
Honey, like a turkey through the corn
[Verse 5]
Tell me, baby, what's on your mind
I can see by your eyes that you ain't been cryin'
An' I been long gone, I been long gone, I been long gone
Honey, like a turkey through the corn
[Verse 5]
Now you know the men don't like me 'cause I speak my mind
And the women crazy 'bout me 'cause I take my time
An I'm long gone, honey, I'm long gone, I'm long gone
Baby, just like a turkey through the corn
[Mandolin Solo]
[Verse 6]
Now, li'l red hen said to lil'l red rooster
Baby, you don't come round here much as you used to
Now, hone,y you long gone
Baby, you long gone, oh, you long gone
Honey, like a turkey through the corn
[Verse 7]
Well, you can take my potatoes up out that ground
Can put 'em in my oven, turn your damper down
Mama, now you know I'm long gone, honey, I'm long gone
I'm long gone, baby, like a turkey through the corn
