Now there was a little chicken he was roostin in a garden On de top limb of a tall old apple tree But a long and lanky coon saw dis chicken mighty soon An he said ah, you are just de size for me So as happy as could be de coon began to climb de tree An he said I'll eat dis pullet I suspect For I'll boil it in a pot an I'll eat it while it's hot Just as soon as I have wrung its little neck So he kept a climbin higher an de chicken gettin nigher An he said \"my honey you must join de troupe For I'm very fond of pickin At a little bone of chicken an like others you will soon be in de soup\" But de top most limb was rotten an de nigger hit the bottom An his coffin it cost sixty seven cents He's a playin seven 'lven now way up in nigger heaven An his parents haven't seen him since. Now there was a little Billy goat a lookin for his dinner When he spied a little old tin can An he never raised a question on de strength of his digestion But it ate it like a nigger does a yam Den he ran around de corner wid his stomach growin warmer For de can was full of dynamite An de dynamite exploded for de little goat was loaded An he disappeared forever out of sight They may advertise forever an explore de wood an riber They may search the big Atlantic with a boat They have searched both night an mornin To police they've given warnin but they never found a section of that goat He has gone to join de seraphs dey can't find him with a sheriff But they're sparin neither trouble or expense He's anatemized in sections he has gone in all directions An his parents haven't seen him since."},{"label":"Spencer Subject","value":["Black music - subjects.","Gay nineties.","Piano.","Vocal."]},{"label":"Cover Art Description","value":"white/blue ; drawing of a man in a watermelon patch."},{"label":"Instrumentation","value":["whistle","piano","voice"]},{"label":"Statement of Responsibility","value":"words and music by Wm.
