Chicken Reel |
Way down in Carolina where the sweet potatoes grow |
There lives a dusky maiden by the name of Liza Snow |
She used to go to parties where they’d always make her sing, |
But say you ought to see that Baby do the pigeon wing. |
They held a dancing contest and were goin' to give a prize |
They all had on their finest and it now was up to Lize. |
Just who was goin' to win it ev’rybody there could feel, |
When Liza hollered to the band to play the Chicken Reel |
Clear the crowd away |
Tell the band to play |
When you hear me say «GO» My honey |
Oh, you Chicken Reel, how you make me feel |
Say it’s really so entrancin' |
Who could really keep from dancin', |
That’s the music sweet, like the chicken meat |
Give it to me with the dressin' |
I don’t need no dancin' lesson |
Put all the other fine selections right away |
That is the only tune I want to hear you play |
When I get married if there’s music I will say |
«Hey boss keep a-playin' Chicken Reel all day |
One night when from a party she was walkin' home with Bill |
Now he’s a steady feller and the night was dark and still |
It seems he stoe a chicken and when Liza heard of that, |
She said I’m gonna wear it on my go-to-meetin' hat. |
I guess you’r goin' crazy answered William with a smile, |
But Liza said «Go on you havn’t heard the latest style.» |
When first she wore it out the people asked her to explain |
but Liza simply said Why I have chicken on the brain. |
Clear the crowd away |
Tell the band to play |
When you hear me say «GO» My honey |
