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
