The Rooster and the Hen Lyrics by Emily Nenni

On the Ranch

2022

[Chorus]
What ever, ever happened to the rooster and the hen?
Did they live happily ever-ever-after in the end?
Haven't seen the rooster lately, but I've seen the happy hen
What ever, ever happened to the rooster and the hen?
[Verse 1]
Well, the rooster and the hen met at a honky tonk
She was sittin' pretty as a bump on a log
He'd ruffled many feathers under plenty of roofs
Wasn't all that long 'til they shared a coop
[Chorus]
What ever, ever happened to the rooster and the hen?
Did they live happily ever-ever-after in the end?
Haven't seen the rooster lately, but I've seen the happy hen
What ever, ever happened to the rooster and the hen?
[Verse 2]
A couple months in and he started to brood
They'd be at a barn burner and he'd get into a mood
He'd blame all his faults on the happy hen
Tell her he was leavin', not to come back again
[Chorus]
What ever, ever happened to the rooster and the hen?
Did they live happily ever-ever-after in the end?
Haven't seen the rooster lately, but I've seen the happy hen
What ever, ever happened to the rooster and the hen?
[Verse 3]
For the next year on, happy hen was a mess
She'd cry to the chickies Bonnie, Bob, and Bess
She stopped peckin' corn and a-layin' eggs
'Til she met a better rooster with longer legs
The long-legged rooster caught eyes with the hen
She shook her head and said I won't give a cluck again
The long-forgotten feelings, how they started to stir
Some lovin' is a sickness, some lovin' is the cure
[Chorus]
What ever, ever happened to the rooster and the hen?
Did they live happily ever-ever-after in the end?
Haven't seen the rooster lately, but I've seen the happy hen
What ever, ever happened to the rooster and the hen?
What ever, ever happened to the rooster and the hen?
