STAY AWAY FROM MY CHICKEN HOUSE
Words and music by Frankie Marvin
As recorded by Gene Autry, 1929.

1. I don't mind tellin' this whole wide world someone's doin' me wrong.
I ain't been able to catch 'em yet, but they gonna get catched 'fore long.
Now whoever this someone may be,
Take a little tip from me:

CHORUS: Stay away from my chicken house, boy, if you figger your life's worthwhile.
Stay away from my chicken house, boy, or I'll cut you down Mexican style.
I've got a long keen razor, a bulldog too.
You'll never look like nothin' when I get through with you.
Now you're not invisible or still as a mouse,
So stay away from my chicken house. Now I mean it!
Stay away from my chicken house.

2. You stole my horse. [horse sounds] You stole my cow. [cow sounds] You took hay from my barn.
You killed my hog for meat last fall; you even stole my corn.
Now for all this, boys, I won't complain,
But I'm stickin' with them chickens through sunshine an' rain. CHORUS
