Song Of The One Legged Chicken
Written and recorded by Tom T. Hall

C                F       C
Do you like true stories I do
               F            C
That's why I'm singin' this song
  F                     C
A song about one legged chicken
    D7                        G7
Who lives in the straw on the floor in my barn

  C            F           C
I remember the day she was hatched out
                F           C
The vet came to see her and said
    F                       C
She has only one leg she'll never grow up
D7                          G7
He said that chick would be better off dead

       C             F            C
I said no let's just let her keep growing
                    F           C
We'll just wait and see how she gets
  F                      C
Before very long she was hoppin'
    D7                      G7
And peckin' and chasin' the bugs with the rest

        C        F         C
And now she is a beautiful chicken
               F        C
Though she has only one leg
     F                    C
When I go to see her each morning
    D7                         G7
She hops from the nest and she leaves me an egg

And she cackles

   C             F       C
Do you like true stories I do
                F             C
That's why I've sung you this song
    F                         C
The song about the one legged chicken
    D7           G7          C
Who lives on the floor in my barn
