Black Oak Arkansas - Fightin' Cock Lyrics






Down south there's a gamblin' sport
Where they throw cock-roosters in a pit
Son, ain't sayin' what's right or wrong
Just sayin' how it is

One day I came across a small country town
And all kinds of excitement was a-comin' down
The folks spent all their money
And a bonny pools of shot
For a fight to the finish
With a champion fightin' cock
Oh, oh, oh, fightin' cock
Your 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 here

Oh, oh, oh, fightin' cock
Won't you show me what you got
While your 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, your spurs are hot
Oh yeah

    awesome album ,,my fav from black oak

    I think this album is very underrated.  There's a lot of kick-ass BOA tunes on it.  This song sounds appropriately scary.  Playing this in a cemetery at midnight would probably wake the dead!  ~AMEN~

    You're damn right, this is the best of BOA , one of my top X Rated choice of all time Rock album !! Tasty licks , sounds too good , even compare to the actual too much metalized savors of today . Thanks for posting !

    These guys really made my day back then. I was in college when BOA was smokin' hot. Brain cells left on the floor.

    @removetube Thanks! Rather be historically accurate than politically correct. I know our great, great gandkids are gonna look back and think we were in the dark ages as far as historic accuracy goes.
