CHICKENS
(Ray Wylie Hubbard & Hayes Carll)

I got chickens in my front yard, what they do is scratch and peck
I got chickens in my front yard, what they do is scratch and peck
Come supper time I'll go out there gonna find me one and wring its neck.

It ain't meanness ya'll it's just hungry's what I am
It ain't meanness ya'll it's just hungry's what I am
There ain't nothin' in this world better than fried chicken yes ma'am.

If it rains today ah, the back yards turn to flood
If it rains today ah, the back yards turn to mud
If it don't it won't either way won't rile my blood.

I'm sittin' on the porch swing watchin' the sky and fiddlin' wood
I'm sittin' on the porch swing watchin' the sky and fiddlin' wood
There's an old crow on the cloths line countin' his toes and feelin' good.

I got chickens in my front yard, what they do is scratch and peck
I got chickens in my front yard, what they do is scratch and peck
Come supper time I'll go out there gonna find me one and wring its neck.

It ain't meanness ya'll it's just hungry's what I am.
