GOT TROUBLE IN THE HENHOUSE* Written by Tom Hambridge As recorded by Tom Hambridge and the Rattlesnakes on "Tom Hambridge and the Rattlesnakes – Live" (2007) I got trouble down at my henhouse; the rooster left town. The chicks are goin' crazy; they won't settle down. They chased me 'round the barnyard so I put 'em in the coop, But next thing I know, they want the cock-a-doodle-doo. I got trouble in the henhouse, Trouble at the henhouse, Trouble, trouble, trouble, I got chicks all over me. Trouble in the henhouse; I don't know what to do. Nothin' but cluckin' since my rooster flew. Trouble in the barnyard, it's got me so uptight. The chicks they drive me crazy; they need layin' ev'ry night. I got trouble in the henhouse, Trouble in the henhouse. Trouble, trouble, trouble, I got chicks all over me. They won't let me be, no, no, no, no, no, no. Chicks all around me layin' ev'ry night. Ev'ry time I turn around, I'm breakin' up a fight. I'm damned if I don't; I'm damned if I do. Mornin' noon an' night they want the cock-a-doodle-do. * it appears on the album as "Trouble in the Henhouse" but it's listed at ASCAP as "Got Trouble in the Henhouse." I decided to list it here as "Got..." to help distinguish it from another song called "Trouble in the Henhouse" written by Billy Briggs & Kathering Briggs.
