Fightin' Cock Lyrics - Black Oak Arkansas

Down south there's a gamblin' sport 

Where they throw cock-roosters in a pit 

Son, ain't syin' what's right or wrong. 

I'm just sayin' how it is 

One day I came across a small country town 

And all kinds of excitement was comin' down 

The folks spent all their money 

For a fight to the finish 

With a champion fightin' cock Oh Oh Oh 

Fightin' cock You're spurs are hot 

They came to see the battle from miles around 

Ain't no other rooster could ever put him down 

They never heard of mercy nor the meaning of fear 

The only thing they understood 

Was happening right there 

Oh Oh Oh Fight cock 

Won't you show me what you got 

While you're spurs are hot 

His feathers were ruffled 

His tail was so bright 

Struttin' real fancy 

He always moved just right 

And then he screamed out as did before 

Because because he's in the middle 

He stood no more 

Oh Oh Oh Fightin' cock 

Oh Oh Oh won't you show 

Me what you've got 

Oh Oh Oh fightin' cock 

Oh Oh Oh you're spurs are hot
