Crow Black Chicken

Ry Cooder · Other Songs - Ry Cooder

Well, I went on the mountain

And I gave my horn a blow

Thought I heard some purty gal say

"Yonder come my beau"



Crow black chicken and crow for a day

Crow black chicken and fly away

Crow black chicken and-a

I like chicken pie



Well, the hardest work that ever I done

Is plowin' a field of rye

The easiest work that ever I done

Was eatin' chicken pie



Chicken crow for midnight

And chicken crow for a day

Along come an owl, Lord, have mercy

And stole my chicken away
