Stay Away From My Chicken House

(album: Blues Singer 1929-1931 - 1996)

I don't mind telling this whole wide world
Someone's doing me wrong
I don't be able to catch on yet
But they gonna get catched for long
Now whoever this someone may be
Take a little tip from me
Stay away from my chicken house, boys
If you figure your life's worthwhile
Stay away from my chicken house, boys
Or I cut you down Mexican style
I got a long keen raiser
A bulldog too
You'll never look like nothing
When I get through with you
Now you're not invisible as still as a mouse
So stay away from my chicken house, I mean it
So stay away from my chicken house!
(Yodelahee)
You stole my horse, you stole my cow
You took hay from my barn
You killed my hogs for meat last fall
You even stole my corn
Now for all of this, boys
I won't complain
But I'm sticking with them chicken
Through sunshine and rain
