GUEST,turk	Lyr Req: extra verses to Hurt's Chicken? (2)	extra verses to Hurt's Chicken?	05 Feb 01
I was singing my girlfriend the song Chicken that i learned from Mississippi John Hurt, and when i was done she said that she learned the song from one of her cousins when she was a little girl and added a few verses. The extra verses obviously dont go with the original song. I think they sound like verses that would be sung during jump rope, but really have no idea where they came from. Anyone have any clues? Here they are: Rufus, rafus, Johnson brown what'cha gonna do when the rent comes down what'cha gonna say, what'cha gonna pay what'cha gonna do on judgement day? You know, I know, rent means dough landlord throw you out in the snow what'cha gonna say, what'cha gonna pay what'cha gonna do on judgement day?
