Well, I went on the mountain
And gave my horn a blow
Thought I heard some pretty gal say
"Yonder come my beau"
Crow black chicken and crow for a day
Crow black chicken and fly away
Crow black chicken and crow for a day
Honey 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
Me and my baby sugar mama built an a-frame
House ten stories high
And in every single story and in every single room
We was eating chicken pie
Crow black chicken and crow for a day
Crow black chicken and fly away
Crow black chicken and crow for a day
Honey I like chicken pie
