Lyrics

(Laurence Wilson) Well, I went on the mountain And I gave my horn a blow Thought I heard some purty gal say "Yonder come my beau" Crow black chicken and crow for a day Crow black chicken and fly away Crow black chicken and-a ... I like chicken pie Well, the hardest work that ever I done Is plowin' a field of rye The easiest work that ever I done Was eatin' chicken pie Chicken crow for midnight And chicken crow for a day Along come an owl, Lord, have mercy And stole my chicken away
