VERSE 1: Way down in Carolina where the sweet potatoes grow there lives a dancin’ maiden by the name of Liza Snow She used to go to parties where they always made her sing but SAY you ought to see that lady do the chicken wing They held a dancing contest and were going to give a prize They ALL had on their finest and it now was up to Lize Who was gonna win it everybody there could feel When Liza hollered to the band to play the Chicken Reel Clear the crowd away, tell the band to play when you hear me say go! my honey 
CHORUS: Oh, you chicken reel, how you make me feel Play it really so entrancing who could really keep from dancing That’s the music sweet, like the chicken meat Give to me with a dressin’ I don’t need no dancing lesson Put all the other fine selections right away That is the only tune I want to hear you play When I get married its the music I will play Hey boy, keep playing chicken reel all day 
VERSE 2: One night when from a party she was coming home with Bill He’s a steady fellow and the night was dark and still I seems he had a chicken and when Liza heard of that She said I’m gonna wear it on my go-to-meeting hat I guess you must be crazy answered William with a smile But Liza said "go on you haven’t heard the latest style." When first she wore it out the people asked her to explain But Liza simply answered "I’ve got chicken on the brain" Clear the crowd away, tell the band to play When you hear me say go! my honey. </pre> </div></body> </html>
