Well, the rooster and the hen met at a honky tonk
G                           F         C
She was sittin' pretty as a bump on a log
     F                           G         C
He'd ruffled many feathers under plenty of roofs
       G                       F        C
Wasn't all that long 'til they shared a coop

Verse :
  F                       G          C
A couple months in and he started to brood
          G                         F          C
They'd be at a barn burner and he'd get into a mood
     F                           G     C
He'd blame all his faults on the happy hen
G                               F          C
Tell her he was leavin', not to come back again

Verse :
        F                   G         C
For the next year on, happy hen was a mess
      G                           F        C
She'd cry to the chickies Bonnie
Bob, and Bess
    F                          G      C
She stopped peckin' corn and a-layin' eggs
         G                         F      C
'Til she met a better rooster with longer legs
    F                                        C
The long-legged rooster caught eyes with the hen
          G                         C
She shook her head and said I won't give a cluck again
    F                                            C
The long-forgotten feelings, how they started to stir
     G                          F             C
Some lovin' is a sickness, some lovin' is the cure

Chorus:
C                               F               C
What ever, ever happened to the rooster and the hen?
         G                      F            C
Did they live happily ever-ever-after in the end?
                                          F              C
Haven't seen the rooster lately, but I've seen the happy hen
     G                          F               C
What ever, ever happened to the rooster and the hen?
