The Yard Dance

[Verse 1] Scratch chicken, whatcha missing? I am just a lonely hen Keep digging through the midden And I'll find it once again The old rooster come around And I told him 'better go' Fancy feathers, he's so proud Look, he's putting on a show [Chorus] Scratch chicken, strut chicken Do the yard dance all day long Scratch chicken, strut chicken Cock-a-doodle daddy sing my song [Verse 2] Well the hen's life is a sad life Mean old farmer steal my young When I'm laying, comes a'praying Puts his hand where it don't belong [Chorus] Scratch chicken, strut chicken Do the yard dance all day long Scratch chicken, strut chicken Cock-a-doodle daddy sing my song
