Henhouse |
Tear a lying tongue out by its roots |
Feed it to the mice round the chicken coup |
Sister come a running to sound the alarm |
There’s hell in the hen house and blood in the barn |
Now a damn fox does what a damn fox does |
Sneaking and a stealing and looking for a buzz |
And the rooster is a devil with talons and a comb |
When the sun comes up he don’t crow, he moans |
The fireworks stared on the fourth of July |
Place your bets on which one dies |
The fox is killer, the fowl’s a maniac |
They favor small faces to Fleetwood Mac |
Hey, hey, mama better let that gravy simmer |
Daddy gonna be a little late for dinner |
Feathers are flying all around the farm |
There’s hell in the hen house and blood in the barn |
There’s a shed out back where grandpa’s been |
He’s waiting for the south to rise again |
Don’t light a match if you go inside |
Smells like Hadacol and formaldehyde |
He’s been in this world for a pretty long time |
Says 2 nickels ain’t worth a dime |
He’s slow as molasses, he’s wrinkled and mean |
He don’t like Yankees or lima beans |
Blackbird swiped him a pocket knife |
He don’t care much for the neighbor’s wife |
She called him a rube, a cracker and a menace |
Worst he ever was was a Seventh-day Adventist |
He fell in cahoots with a rock and roll band |
Turned up drunk and tattooed in Japan |
He couldn’t commit wholly to the devil’s side |
His ink reads six six five point nine |
Now back to the rooster and the damned old fox |
One of em’s dead like a car on blocks |
Grandpa’s a cussing and sister’s 'bout to cry |
Blackbird said he was baked in a pie |
Yelling and a squawking and screaming and a bawling |
The phone is ringing, preacher is a calling |
Can’t talk now there’s a ruckus at the gate |
I guess salvation gonna have to wait |
