We Shall Be Free
For my Song Hall of Fame... "We Shall Be Free" by Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Cisco Houston and Sonny Terry
I like chickens a lot. My grandmother Howe used to have some, and I always thought they looked like they'd be fun to have around... maybe someday...
I was down in the hen-house the other night
Awful dark, I didn’t have no light
I reached for a chicken, I got me a goose
A man come out, I had to turn him loose
===
I was down in the hen-house on my knees
Thought I heard a chicken sneeze
‘t was only a rooster saying his prayers
Thanking his God for the hens upstairs
