  2. Well, let's start with the fact that the lyric "...kill the old red rooster..." is not from the the song 'Oh Susanna'. The song is 'She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain' and it's a variation of the Negro spiritual 'When the Chariot Comes'. Most folks consider it a children's song. No one knows who wrote the alternate version or what the lyrics mean. Like many old folks songs for children, the lyrics are often times just meant to be silly and touch on daily life subject matter...like cooking a rooster.
