Looking for the lyrics to Leadbelly's song, "You Gottta' Bottle Up and Go". It starts out something like: "The little banty rooster and the dominicker hen...."

Thanks,

Frank

They run together, but they ain't no kin!

She may be old, 90 years,
But she ain't too old for to shift her gears.

Went to the river, started to cross,
Jumped on an alligator cause I thought it was a hoss!

Two old maids lying in bed,
One turned over to the other and said...

Me and my baby walking down the street,
Telling everybody but the chief of police.

Scaredest I ever been in my life,
Was the time my neighbor caught me kissing his wife.

Went to the river and started to drown.
Thought about my baby so I turned around.

Hope that's a start Frank.
