Something about the song.

I has a rooster and my rooster pleased me
I fed my rooster under yonder green tree
My little rooster went, “Cock-a-doodle-doo
Di-oodily, oodily, oodily, oo”

My little rooster went, “Cock-a-doodle-doo
Di-oodily, oodily, oodily, oo”

Well I had a donkey, my donkey pleased me
I fed my donkey under yonder green tree
My little donkey went, “Aw-he-aw
My little rooster went, “Cock-a-doodle-doo
Di-oodily, oodily, oodily, oo”

I had a horse and my horse pleased me
I fed my horse under yonder green tree
My little horse went, “E-e-e-e…”
My little donkey went, “Aw-he-aw”
My little rooster went, “Cock-a-doodle-doo
Di-oodily, oodily, oodily, oo”

I had a duck and my duck pleased me
I fed my duck under yonder green tree
My little duck went, “Quack, quack, quack”
My little horse went, “E-e-e-e…”
My little donkey went, “Aw-he-aw”
My little rooster went, “Cock-a-doodle-doo
Di-oodily, oodily, oodily, oo”

I had a dog and my dog pleased me
I fed my dog under yonder green tree
My little dog went, “Woof, woof, woof”
My little duck went, “Quack, quack, quack”
My little horse went, “E-e-e-e…”
My little donkey went, “Aw-he-aw”
My little rooster went, “Cock-a-doodle-doo
Di-oodily, oodily, oodily, oo”

My little rooster went, “Cock-a-doodle-doo
Di-oodily, oodily, oodily, oo”
