3 Whole Nights I've

3 whole nights I've lain awake,
(Cockle-doodle-doo)
for my little rooster's sake
(Cockle doodle doo)
Sunday dawn
(Cockle-doodle-doo)
he was gone
(Cockle-doodle-doo)
and I thought my heart would break.

He had feathers blue and bright
(Cockle-doodle-doo),
and he crowed with all his might,
(Cockle-doodle-doo)
when he sings,
(Cockle-doodle-doo)
flaps his wings,
(Cockle-doodle-doo)
he is such a pretty sight.

France and ......... (can't remember this line),
(Cockle-doodle-doo)
then to Germany I flew,
(Cockle-doodle-doo)
No bird there,
(Cockle-doodle-doo)
anywhere
(Cockle-doodle-do)
not in England or Peru

My Rooster

Three whole nights I've lain awake,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
For my little rooster's sake,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Sunday dawn,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
He was gone,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
And I thought my heart would break.

He had feathers blue and bright,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
And he crowed with all his might,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
When he sings,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Flaps his wings,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
He is such a pretty sight.

France and Spain I’ve hunted through,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Then to Germany I flew,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
No bird there,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Anywhere,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Not in England or Peru

So kind friends both far and near,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
To me pleading now give ear,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Find my pet,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Don’t forget,
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Bring me back my rooster dear

This is to the best of my recollection. It has been many a year since I went to music class and sang this song. My sister and I would sing this as we cleaned up after evening dinners. Fond memories
