This is a rockabilly song:


CHICKEN BLUES
As recorded by The York Brothers, 1951.

If you don't like chicken, leave that hen alone.
Well, if you don't like chicken, leave that hen alone.
She'll give you so much chicken, you can't do a thing but moan.
She'll give you chicken with your coffee, chicken with your wine,
Chicken, chicken, chicken till you lose your mind.
If you don't like chicken, leave that hen alone.
She'll give you so much chicken, you can't do a thing but moan.

You're a big red rooster, but that don't mean a thing.
Well, you're a big red rooster, but that don't mean a thing.
If you mess around with her, she surely will clip your wing.
She'll give you chicken in the mornin', chicken after noon,
Chicken, chicken, chicken 'neath the harvest moon.
Well, if you don't like chicken, leave that hen alone.
She'll give you so much chicken, you can't do a thing but moan.

She'll give chicken in the mornin', chicken after noon,
Chicken, chicken, chicken 'neath the harvest moon.
Well, if you don't like chicken, leave that hen alone.
She'll give you so much chicken, you can't do a thing but moan.
