Down in Kentucky got them hanging on the line

C
There's too much chicken in the hen house now

C                      (G) 
Hens stay in, roosters stay out

See that red chicken sittin' on an egg

Fox caught the rooster and the rooster got dead

C
Got the water rolling in a pot of beans

C                              (G)
Had to keep the cabbage moth off the greens

I hope my mama didn't float away
