lyrics

scratch chicken / whatcha missing
i am just a lonely hen
keep digging through the midden
and i'll find it once again

the old rooster come around
and i told him 'better go'
fancy feathers / he's so proud
look, he's putting on a show

scratch chicken / strut chicken
do the yard dance all day long
scratch chicken / strut chicken
cock-a-doodle daddy sing my song

well the hen's life is a sad life
mean old farmer steal my young
when i'm laying / comes a'praying
puts his hand where it don't belong

scratch chicken / strut chicken
do the yard dance all day long
scratch chicken / strut chicken
cock-a-doodle daddy sing my song

Sierra, your music resonates my soul. The voice of Billie Holiday and the stylings of Django, gritty American songwriter music! Thank you!!! Favorite track = Rocket b_ret93
