Well, the rooster and the hen met at a honky tonk
G              F     C
She was sittin' pretty as a bump on a log

A couple months in and he started to brood

They'd be at a barn burner and he'd get into a mood
   F              G   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
