My Chicken Run 'Way to the Bush
    As sung by Burl Ives on "Singing Easy"

When I was a little boy on my island home
My mamma gave me chicken for my very own
But my chicken run 'way to the bush x2
Old red rooster come along and
My chicken run 'way to the bush x2

I grew to be a young man and a pretty girl passed my way
She winked her eye, now I know why my chicken run away that day
We both run away to the bush x2
She winked her eye, now I know why
Everybody run away to the bush x2
