Some Days It’s Chicken

Composer’s original recording:

Arrangement for piano and tenor voice (as shown above):

Some days it’s chicken
Some days feathers
That’s what an old friend
Once said to me

Some days it’s chicken
Some days feathers
Hear my story
And you’ll agree

She sometimes calls me “stallion”
I sometimes call her “Mare”
But then she caught me cheat-in’
And said “you git outta here”

I begged for her forgiveness
Said take me back again
She did but she remembers
Remembers that time when-

Some days it’s chicken
Some days feathers
That’s what an old friend
Once said to me

Some days it’s chicken
Some days feathers
I’ll continue
And you’ll agree

You see this other woman
Lives in our small town
And when my lady sees her
I get the meanest frown

Then she will remind me
I go from steed to louse
And the dog is in the bedroom
And I am in HIS house

Some days it’s chicken
Some days feathers
That’s what an old friend
Once said to me

Yeah some days it’s chicken
Some days feathers
That’s what an old friend
Once said to me
