Barefoot Nellie

Redheaded pecker was sitting on a limb
Ma said chicken but Nellie got him
Wrung his neck and picked him clean -
Funniest chicken I ever seen

Hey! (Barefoot Nellie)
Ho! (Barefoot Nellie)
Hey! (Barefoot Nellie)
You’re the one for me

Peg-legged hog was walking in the lot
Made three tracks but just one dot
Nellie says “Who do you think I am?
That hog’s missing about one ham”

Nellie puts on her Sunday dress
Thought that it would look the best
Made out of an old feed sack
Hogfeed rope around the back

Nellie goes into town one day
Riding on a load of hay
Sold a man a trip to Mars
Now she sits behind the bars

Nellie’s got an old pair of shoes
She can wear them if she’d choose
So why the Hell she got the blues
Who wants to wear size 22?
