this was also a 1920s to 1940's song that was redone by asleep at the wheel.
last year. the name at the end of the song c c pickins, is the name of the one and only famous chicken theif of that time period. famous you say? it is like this.
if you had a chicken farm and come up missing some chikens. that is the guy that
did it or got the blame for it because he was caught doing it and would not stop it.
it did not matter that your farm was 400 miles away from his town he got the blame for it. and more then likely he did it as he would cross state lines to get some chickens
*****************************
one night farmer brown was checking the air
locked up the barn and with the greast of care
looked into the hen house something stir'd
when he holler'd Who's There! this is what he heard
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
