about

Traditional First recorded by the Leake County Revelers in 1928

lyrics

I went up on the mountain to give my horn a blow
I thought I heard my true love say, "Yonder comes my beau"

Crow, black chicken, crow for day
Crow, black chicken, fly away
Crow, black chicken, crow for day
I love chicken pie

Chicken crow for midnight, chicken crow for day
When along comes an owl with a “Whoo-ha!” Scared that chicken away

The hardest work I ever done was plough a field of rye
The easiest work I ever done was eating chicken pie
Chicken crow for midnight, chicken crow for day
When along comes a Ford with a “Whoo-ha!” Scared that chicken away

Wish I had a big frame house, fifteen stories high
Every story in that house was filled with chicken pie
Chicken crow for midnight, chicken crow for day
When along comes a wolf with a “Whoo-ha!” Scared that chicken away
