(laurence wilson)

Well, i went on the mountain
And i gave my horn a blow
Thought i heard some purty gal say
"yonder come my beau"

Crow black chicken and crow for a day
Crow black chicken and fly away
Crow black chicken and-a ...
I like chicken pie

Well, the hardest work that ever i done
Is plowin' a field of rye
The easiest work that ever i done
Was eatin' chicken pie

Chicken crow for midnight
And chicken crow for a day
Along come an owl, lord, have mercy
And stole my chicken away
