Pass the Chicken

Pass me the chicken

don’t say nothing at-tall

Keep them peas a coming hope

they make it past the paw-paw

Cornbread and butterbeans

a mess of collard greens

Just, Pass the chicken brother

and don’t say nothing to me oh lord

It was hotter than a chili pepper

on a July summer day

I was plowing with old Bessie

best mule God ever made

Sweat bees were ah stinging

I was swatting left and right

Thinking bout Grandmas cooking and how I loved every bite

Just pass me the chicken

don’t say nothing at-tall Hey, Hey, Hey

Say God’s grace and thank the lord

for blessings he has bestowed Hey, Hey a-men

No sir, no mam, nobody, you’all just leave me be

Pass me the chicken be fine with me ya,

play a little bit

Pass the Chicken

Instrumental (Harp)

Right thar in the middle of the row I just plowed

Was Cookie the Kitty cat and Tiny, the Puppy dog

Romping and a playing what trouble they could find

Thinking bout Grandmas cooking and waiting on supper time now

Pass me the chicken don’t say nothing at-tall ya ha

Don’t need no kinda’ Turkey

this sure ain’t no butterball yea um um

Sorghum and molasses biscuits and Sweet tea

Just pass me the chicken we’re one big happy family ha ha oh yea shore do love that chicken

Instrumental (Guitar)

Sitting high on the fence

Sat Sweet Daisy Mae

Listening to paw-paws fiddle (piddle)

watching me plow away

I really lovez’ that country gal purttest girl around

Thinking bout Grandmas cooking and how I can talk her down

Just pass me the chicken don’t say nothing at-tall

Griddle cakes and coffee Grits and gravy baby that’s all hey, hey, yea

I love them fried potatoes Nothing better can be

Just pass me the chicken don’t say nothing to me you hear me hush your mouth

Whoo umm Somebody pass that chicken Ya sooie
