Lyrics
Chicken of Depression Blues My woman’s been cheatin’ on me, I’m settin’ up here on the shelf Oh yeah, my woman’s been cheatin’ on me, I’m settin’ up here on the shelf But my baby don’t have another man, she’s cheatin’ on me with herself Come home early one night, before the bars was all closed down Oh yeah, I come home early one night, before the bars was all closed down Thought I’d do right by my little woman, take her out on the town Ain’t no bluebird of happiness singin’ on my street Oh no, ain’t no bluebird of happiness singin’ on my street Not since the chicken of depression started peckin’ at my feet Heard commotion in the bedroom, tiptoed by to have a look Mmmm hmmm, I heard commotion in the bedroom, tiptoed by to have a look My baby was in our rockin’ chair, but she wasn’’t readin’ no book Now I’m sleepin’ on the sofa, while my baby’s rockin’ all night long Yeah, I’m sleepin’ on the sofa, while my baby’s rockin’ all night long Says she’s got emancipation, now she’s doing right what I done wrong Since my baby started cheatin’, ain’t no bluebird singin’ on my street No, since my baby started cheatin’, ain’t no bluebird singin’ on my street Not since the chicken of depression started peckin’ at my feet Repeat chorus x1 Copyright: D.Devine 2008
