Crow Black Chicken

from The Blackest Crow by Lulu's Fate

lyrics

Well, I went up on the mountain
And I gave my horn a blow
Well I thought I heard a pretty girl singin'
"Yonder comes my beau"

Crow black chicken for midnight
Crow black chicken for days
Along come a big old hoot owl honey
And took my chicken away
Crow black chicken, crow for days
Crow black chicken, fly away
Crow black chicken, crow for days
'Cause I like chicken pie

Well, the hardest work that ever I done
Was to plow a field of rye
The easiest work that ever I done honey
Was to eat a little chicken pie

Crow black chicken for midnight
Crow black chicken for days
Along come a big old hoot owl honey
And took my chicken away
Crow black chicken, crow for days
Crow black chicken, fly away
Crow black chicken, crow for days
'Cause I like chicken pie

Once I had a big frame house
Fourteen stories high
And in every one of them stories good people
Would eat a little chicken pie

Crow black chicken for midnight
Crow black chicken for days
Along come a big old hoot owl honey
And took my chicken away
Crow black chicken, crow for days
Crow black chicken, fly away
Crow black chicken, crow for days
'Cause I like chicken pie
