Lyrics

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
