Chickens

(álbum: Little Rock - 2005)

I got chickens in my front yard
What they do is scratch and peck
I got chickens in my front yard
What they do is scratch and peck
Come supper time I'll go out there
Find me one and wring its neck

It ain't meanness, ya'll
It's just hungry's what I am
It ain't meanness, ya'll
It's just hungry's what I am
There ain't nothing in this world
Better than fried chicken, yes ma'am

And if it rains today
Oh, the back yard'll turn to mud
If it rains today
Oh, the back yard'll turn to mud
If it don't, it won't
Either way, won't rile my blood

I'm sitting on the porch swing
Watching the sky and fiddling wood
I'm sitting on the porch swing
Watching the sky and fiddling wood
There's an old crow on the clothesline
Counting his toes and feeling good

I got chickens in my front yard
What they do is scratch and peck
I got chickens in my front yard
What they do is scratch and peck
Come supper time I'll go out there
Find me one and wring its neck

It ain't meanness, ya'll
It's just hungry's what I am
