Well a curly haired chicken fell in love with a chicken hawk
Well a curly haired chicken fell in love with a chicken hawk
Fell head over heels for that hawk's sweet talk
She said take me up hawky take me up to the sky
She said take me up hawky take me up to the sky
'Cause I'm a little bitty chicken and I don't know how to fly
She said up up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up up up up and away
He met a bald headed eagle flying up there in the blue
He met a bald headed eagle flying up there in the blue
Well the eagle told the hawk I'm gonna steal that chicken from you
Well the hawk started flying like a V8 single jet
The hawk started flying like a V8 single jet
He said cool down chicken he ain't got us yet
She said up up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up up up up and away
You asked him for the sun and you asked him for the moon
You asked him for the sun and you asked him for the moon
He said cool down chicken we're gonna get there soon
He said up up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up up up up and away
He said up up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up up and away
We gonna fly all day
Up up up up and away

Stones In My Shoes
03:29
|

Like a secret black wisp of smoke
Rising from the devil’s crack
I dug a hole just to dig it up
Hard work done broke my back
Brenda-Lee she sent me a note
Sent it on a pretty yellow leaf
To this day I don’t know why she wrote
She could be sweet but she never could be brief
The Lord put stones in my shoes
So I can’t escape from you
I dangled from a dead man’s rope
Took a scramble to get me back
I shot a dove down to give me hope
Bag it up in a white cotton sack
There’s nothing stopping me from talking to the boys
Why don’t you wipe that face off your smile
Don’t pay money for these broken toys
Feel so tired like I walked a hundred miles

'Cause we ain't do what you tell us to

Way Down In The Hole
04:10
|
|||
When you walk through the garden
You gotta watch your back
well I beg your pardon
Walk the straight and narrow track
If you walk with Jesus
He's gonna save your soul
You gotta keep the devil
Way down in the hole
He's got the fire and the fury
At his command
Well you don't have to worry
If you hold on to Jesus hand
We'll all be safe from Satan
When the thunder rolls
Just gotta help me keep the devil
Way down in the hole
All the angels sing
About Jesus' mighty sword
And they'll shield you with their wings
And keep you close to the lord
Don't pay heed to temptation
For his hands are so cold
You gotta help me keep the devil
Way down in the hole

Speak Of The Devil
03:20
|

Keep the dog on the leash
Keep the dagger in the sheath
Sing of the angels you saw
You’ve still got gold in your teeth
And shoes on your feet
Speak of the devil no more
Speak of the devil
Speak of the devil
Speak of the devil no more
He was lost and we were fine
Now you’ve called him to your side
Don’t speak of the devil no more
I’m a friend not a stranger
Come walk in the water
Wade til the troubles are gone
Without a name he’s a slave
And your soul will be saved
Speak of the devil no more
Rain, rain down from heaven
Keep us all from the grave
Shame, shame on your head my son
You’ve stumbled and spoken his name

Look what you've done to me
You said you'd be my honey all night long
When I found you baby you were doin' me wrong
Sugar bee sugar bee

Look what you've done to me
You came home this morning 'bout quarter to four
Found you little woman sittin' at my door
Sugar bee sugar bee
Sugar bee sugar bee
Sugar bee sugar bee
Look what you've done to me

Every Day
04:18
|

Sun is up it's time to rise
Wipe that sleep from my eyes
Every day is a surprise
Got work to do got games to play
Got love that comes my way
And that makes my day
Every day is a good day
Every day is a good day (when you're around)
Every day is a good day
Every day is a good day
What you gotta do you gotta do
And each I must find a you
Cause one is fine but
There's nothing better than two
You can't know what's round the corner
The future ain't made to order
But you gotta know what you're sure of
We can carry a heavy load
And I want you to know
I don't wanna ever let you go
Winter sun and summer snow
We'll have something grow
Of those seeds that we so carefully sowed

The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead
Just need to find a place where I can lay my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand and "No" was all he said
Take a load off Annie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Annie
And you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
I picked up my bag and I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the devil walkin' side by side
And I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, would you go downtown"
And she said, "Well, I gotta go but my friend can stick around"
Go down, Miss Moses, there ain't nothin' that you can say
'Cause it's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
"Well, now Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favour, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said, "I will fix your rags, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can?"
Catch a Cannonball, now, to take it on down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Annie, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

What'd I Say
04:08

Hey mama, don't you treat me wrong
Come and love your daddy all night long
All right, hey hey, all right, play it
See the girl with the diamond ring
She knows how to shake that thing
All right, hey hey, all right, play it
Tell your mama, tell your pa
I'm gonna send you back to Arkansas
All right, hey hey, hey hey, all right
Tell me what'd I say
When you see me in misery
Come on baby, see about me
Oh yeah, all right, all right, play it
See the girl with the red dress on
She can do the Birdland all night long
All right, hey hey, hey hey, all right
Tell me what'd I say
And I wanna know
You gotta shake that thing

There’s some old timers
And they’re gonna have a party and we’re all invited
There’s some cherry tobacco
‘Cause I stole it from your packet and there’s coal on the fire
Old age waits for no man
I can’t wait for dreamland
Here’s a warm blanket
And when someone sings a song you start to gaze at the night sky
And it all seems so pretty
That you know that you are blessed just to be here and see this
