Artist/Band: Tom T. Hall
Lyrics for Song: Song of the One Legged Chicken
Lyrics for Album: Country Songs for Children [Mercury] [1995]



(Tom T. Hall)



Do you like true stories I do

That's why I'm singing this song

A song about one legged chicken

Who lives in the straw on the floor in my barn.



I remember the day she was hatched out

The vet came to see her and said

She has only one leg she'll never grow up

He said that chick would be better off dead.



I said no let's just let her keep growing

We'll just wait and see how she gets

Before very long she was hopping and pecking

And chasing the bugs with the rest.



And now she is a beautiful chicken

Though she has only one leg

When I go to see her each morning

She hops from the nest and she leaves me an egg

And she cackles.



Do you like true stories I do

That's why I've sung you this song

The song about the one legged chicken

Who lives on the floor in my barn...
