The way Chicken Head came out
I was, 1960-, '60, '67
The guy said, "Do you mean chicken or chicken head"
I said, "Yeah, chicken head"
My daddy told me on his dying bed
He said, "Give up your heart but don't you lose your head"
You came along, girl, what did I do?
I lost my heart and my head too
Lord have mercy
Little girl, little girl, you sure can cook
Little girl, little girl, you've got me hooked
When you cook that chicken, save me the head
I should be working but I'm home in bed
Thinking about you
Dreaming about you
Love that girl
But I love them chicken heads too
Without your love, I just can't go on
The feelings I have for you, is much too strong
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me evenly in
Oh, Lord
My love for you is so doggone strong
Like the Mississippi River roll on and on
If loving you was a doggone crime
I'd be sittin' in jail, done flat 99
I'm thinking about you
Dreaming about you
Love that girl
But I love them chicken heads too
Without your love, just can't go on
The feelings I have for you is much too strong
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me evenly in
Oh Lord, let me in on it
My love for you is so doggone strong
I'm hooked on your love, but can't leave you 'lone
I love you so much, it's a crime and shame
Wanna make you my wife and change your name
Thinking about you
Dreaming about you
Love that girl
But I love them chicken heads too
Without your love, just can't go on
Feelings I have for you is much too strong
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me evenly in
Oh Lord, you got to let me in
Let me in
Girl, you got to let me in
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me evenly in
Oh Lord, let me in on it
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me evenly in
Oh, Lord
