GUEST,earfirst Origins: Ghost Riders in the Sky (44) RE: Lyr Req: Ghost Chickens in the Sky 30 Aug 14


Ghost Chickens in the Sky

A chicken farmer ventured out one dark and windy day _________
and by the coop he rested as he went along his way_________
when all at once a rotten egg__ smacked him in the eye
he's thinkin' Chum, your time has come__ Ghost Chickens in the Sky___

CHORUS:
    buk-buk-buk baawwk_____   buk-buk-buk baawwk_____
    Ghost Chickens in_____ the Sky____

This farmer had that chicken ranch since he was twenty-four
A-working for the Colonel now for thirty years and more
He'd hack 'em up and pack 'em up and send them off to fry
and now they're bent on their revenge__, Ghost Chickens in the Sky
    [CHO]

Their beaks were black and shining and their eyes were burning red
They had no meat ner feathers 'cause these chickens all were dead
They stripped him raw and slit his craw and ripped him beak and claw
and served him extra crispy______, with a muffin and cole slaw
    [CHO]
