Description / content note: "The crowing of the cock, father, the cock crow. The people here, father, the cock crow. They like to deceive, father, to affect something tomorrow. At someone's village, father. Walking is like dancing, the cock crow." No doubt to the singers of this drinking song, walking home would indeed be similar to dancing after an all night party which only broke up at cock crow. Drinking song with clapping.
