Chicken

Mississippi John Hurt


Oh, chicken, chicken, you can't roost too high for me.
Chicken, chicken, come on outta' that tree.

Chicken, chicken, chicken, you can't roost too high for me.

C is the way we begin.
H to make the letter hen.
I am the way.
C when the seasons are grey.
K is to fill him in.
E I'm near the end.

C-H-I-C-K-E-N

That's the way to spell chicken.
