Crow Black Chicken lyrics

[Intro]
This is called "Crow Black Chicken"

[Verse 1]
You know I went up on top of the mountain
And I give my horn a blow
I thought I heard some pretty gal say
She said, "Yonder comes my beau"

[Verse 2]
You know chicken crows for midnight
And a chicken crows for day
'Long come an owl, Lord, have a little mercy on me
Stole my chicken away

[Chorus]
That crow-black chicken, crows for days
Crow-black chicken, fly away
Crow-black chicken
Well, I like my chicken pie

[Verse 3]
You know the hardest work that ever I done
Was plowin' some field of rye
The easiest work that ever I done
You know, was eatin', oh, chicken pie
[Verse 4]
You know chicken crows for midnight
And a chicken crows for day
'Long come an owl, swoop down upon me when I was not looking
And it stole my chicken away

[Chorus]
That crow-black chicken crows for days
And crow-black chicken, fly away
Crow-black chicken and
I like my chicken pie, certainly do

[Verse 5]
You know I went up on top of the mountain
And I give my horn a little blow
I thought I heard some pretty gal say to me
She said, "Yonder comes my beau"

[Verse 6]
You know chicken crows for midnight
And a chicken crows for day
'Long come an owl, Lord, have a little mercy
Stole my chicken away

[Chorus]
Now crow-black chicken crows for days
Crow-black chicken and fly away
Crow-black chicken
I like my chicken pie
