Who Broke the Lock?

as done by The Highwoods String Band

I'se down in the henhouse on my knees
When I thought I heard ole Bruno sneeze
It was nuthin but the rooster sayin his prayers
Thankin the lord for the hens upstairs

Who broke the lock, I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door

Said the barnyard rooster to the barnyard hen
Ya told me a story and I know when
Ya told me that Sally made the cake so go
And don't mind the weather if the wind don't blow

chorus

Said the barnyard hen to the rooster out west
You know my dear I love you best
Said the barnyard rooster you're tellin me a lie
Cause I caught you a flirtin with a big Shanghai

chorus

Said the barnyard rooster to the barnyard hen
Well ya ain't laid an egg since I don't know when
Said the barnyard hen to the barnyard rooster
Well ya ain't been around fer somethin like ya used ta

Chorus


I just love this song. I first heard it by the Ballard Creek Bogtrotters and the other thread doesn't have a complete version...hg ^^
