I recently found the Dave Van Ronk version of the song" Chicken is Nice...", My wifw and I are wondering where this song that we both love comes from? Does anyone know?

Is this "chicken and rice- they are very nice". Last line of chorus- "I want some seafood, Mama!" Came out in the 40's I think, but may be wrong song.

No, that's a good one, but this song is about women the singer doesn't want to marry: " Don't want no wife from Robert's Falls, Don't want no wife from Robert's Falls, The only dish she can make is fried fish Don't want no wife from Robert's Falls.

Chicken is nice, chicken is nice Chicken is nice With palm butter and rice."

Where is it from?

Liberia it should be- as Monrovia, Sinoe and Cape Palmas are all towns/cities there.

Best, Greg
