Little Red Hen Cifras

[Verse 1]
   Dm
The Little Red Hen found a grain of wheat,
    C
Said "This looks good enough to eat,
        G7
But I'll plant it instead, make me some bread,"
Am                     Dm
Said to the other guys down the street,
         G7                 C
"Who will help me plant this wheat?"
 
[Chorus]
     A
"Not I!" said the dog and the cat.
     E7
"Not I!" said the mouse and the rat.
A                      E7
"I will then," said the Little Red Hen,
       A
And she did.
 
[Verse 2]
        Dm
Well the sun shone bright, the rain it blew,
   C
The grain of wheat it grew and grew,
   G7
It began to sprout, headed out,
Am              Dm
Till it was ripe enough.
                G7                  C
Said, "Who will help me harvest this stuff?"
 
[Chorus]
     A
"Not I!" said the dog and the cat.
     E7
"Not I!" said the mouse and the rat.
A                      E7
"I will then," said the Little Red Hen,
       A
And she did.
 
[Verse 3]
   Dm
She lugged it to the miller to grind to flour,
         C
Cause the others would furnish her no manpower,
       G7
And at baking time they all declined
Am                  Dm
To help her with the job;
           G7               C
They were a dog gone no-good mob.
 
[Chorus]
     A
"Not I!" said the dog and the cat.
     E7
"Not I!" said the mouse and the rat.
A                      E7
"I will then," said the Little Red Hen,
       A
And she did.
 
[Verse 4]
   Dm
The bread looked good and smelled so fine
    C
The gang came running and fell in line;
      G7
"We'll do our part with all our heart
Am                  Dm
To help you eat this chow!"
         G7                 C
She said, "I do not need you now."
 
[Outro]
  A
"I planted and hoed this grain of wheat,
E7
Them that works not, shall not eat,
A                    E7
That's my credo," the little bird said,
    A              E7         A
And that's why they called her Red.
