CHICKEN TRUCK - Recorded by John Anderson

Written by Ervan James Parker, Monroe Fields & John Anderson

Well, It was mornin' when I left Alabama; It must have been around in mid July

I got behind a chicken truck from Georgia; And the feathers was a-flyin' like snow out of the sky.

CHORUS/Chicken truck, chicken truck; Behind it I'm stuck

Chicken truck, chicken truck; It's just my luck, chicken truck

(Chicken truck) on Highway Sixty-Five

Well, the hens are a squawin' and the roosters are a-crowin'

He's a slowin' me down when I need to keep goin'

Chicken truck on Highway Sixty-Five.

CHICKEN IN BLACK - Recorded by Johnny Cash/Written by Gary Gentry

For two long years my head hurt bad; The doctor checked me and he shook his head

He said, "I'm sorry to tell ya; But your body's outlived your brain"

He said, "I know this doctor in New York, son; And he'll fix you right up with a brand new one"

So the head doctor met me when I stepped down off of the train.

CHORUS/I said, "Stick 'em up everybody, I'm robbin' this place; Drop all of your money in my guitar case

Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door"

A lady said, "Why you're Johnny Cash"; I said, "No m'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash

And I am the best bank robber in New York."

WALK, CHICKEN, WALK ('Cause You're Too Fat To Fly) - Recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens

Walk, Chicken, Walk; 'Cause you're too fat to fly

Walk, Chicken, Walk; I'll regret it til the day I die

She turned around, looked me right in the face

I said, "Pardon me, Ma'am, I'm due some other place"

Walk, Chicken, Walk; 'Cause you're too fat to fly.
