What Have My Chickens Done Now? |
| She took a mouse out of a pouch\nAnd made me put it in my mouth\nWe call out her name\nAnd beg for a shaming\nShe made me spit and shake and scream\nShe made me make myself unclean\nShe calls out my name\nBut I’m not to blame but\nMaybe my chickens know how\nI don’t know why she told on me\nI’m sick and sad and eighty three\nI knew when I named her\nThe devil had claimed her\nIt must be my chickens somehow\nThey accused my daughter and\nScratched her on the face and hand\nThey bite their tongues and bear their teeth\nThen they scratch me til I bleed\nAs long as she remains\nWe will keep her in pain\nI know her chickens are foul\nI know I’m not to blame\nBut I’m tired of the bloodstains\nI have to find a way out\nUnder stress I did confess\nJust to make them stop, I guess\nWhat can my chickens do now?\nWe knew if named her\nGod would not claim her\nMy pain was in vain\nFor they were all against me\nAround her neck they tied a noose\nAnd they killed her family too\nOnly her chickens know now |
