lyrics

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

Crow black chicken and crow for a day
Crow black chicken and fly away
Crow black chicken and-a
I like chicken pie

Oh, chicken, chicken, you can't roost too high for me.
Oh, chicken, chicken, come on out of that tree.
Oh, chicken, chicken, chicken, you can't roost too high for me.
C is the way it begins.
H, the next letter then,
I am the third.
C, what a seasonly bird.
K is to fill him in.
E, I'm near the end.
C-H-I-C-K-E-N,
That's the way you spell chicken.

Chicken crow for midnight
And chicken crow for a day
Along come an owl, Lord, have mercy
And stole my chicken away

Crow black chicken and crow for a day
Crow black chicken and fly away
Crow black chicken and-a
I like chicken pie

It wasn't long before they were playing regular gigs together, and then writing their own material in the style they had developed. Andante In The Park, their first album, was recorded in December 2014. ... more
