Chicken You Can Roost Behind the Moon

歌詞

Spoken: Boy, did you ever do anything like stealin' chickens? Oh now it's chicken, chicken, oh chicken You may go up in a balloon Chicken, chicken, you may hide behind the moon, doggone you now Chicken, I never let a fowl be Ten thousand dollar warrant for the fowl on earth He don't roost too high for me I got to thinkin' 'bout chicken, late the other night, man, I couldn't a-hardly rest I jumped out the bed, grabbed up my old shoes Thought of where some chicken was at I grabbed big buffcoat, stuck 'I'm under my arm Somethin' I never let fall I don't think I've robbed your henhouse till I get your roost, poor chicken and all Ah now it's chicken, oh chicken Ah you may go up in a balloon, doggone ya Chicken, ah you may hide behind the moon, confound you now Chicken, ah never let a fowl be Ten thousand dollar warrant for the fowl on earth He don't roost too high for me Ah that chicken made me awful mad the other night, man That's somethin' I didn't like to take I grabbed my little haversack and down 'cross my back Grabbed the chicken right by the neck Said I turned around around, quick as I could A chicken hauled away I 'clare I won't steal meat and bread outta cook's pot I steal a chicken from anywhere Ah now it's chicken, now chicken Go up in a balloon, doggone ya Chicken, ah you may hide behind the moon Chicken, I never let a fowl be A ten thousand dollar warrant for the fowl on earth He don't roost too high for me Ah that police 'rest me last Friday night You couldn't think of what's it about I'm goin' down the alley where I lived at A lot of chicken tied in my house I tell, "You may carry me to the pen'tentiary wall I'll go to work out my time And just as quick you put me on the L&N track I'll have chickens on my mind!" That make me sad, chicken, oh chicken You may go up in a balloon, doggone ya Chicken, you may hide behind the moon Now chicken, I never let a fowl be Ten thousand dollar warrant for the fowl on earth He don't roost too high for me
