Does anyone know a song called "Chicken You Can Roost Behind the Moon" ? It's an old minstrel song about stealing chickens. The chorus goes something like this:

Chicken, chicken, you can go up in a balloon
Chicken, chicken, you can hide behind the moon
Chicken, I never let a fowl be
Ten thousand dollar worth, best fowl on earth

Can't roost too high for me.
