Song Of The One Legged Chicken Lyrics - Country Songs For Children - Tom T. Hall

Do you like true stories? I do 

That's why I'm singing this song 

A song about one legged chicken 

Who lives in the straw on the floor in my barn 

I remember the day she was hatched out 

The vet came to see her and said 

"She has only one leg, she'll never grow up" 

He said that chick would be better off dead 

I said, "No, let's just let her keep growing 

We'll just wait and see how she gets" 

Before very long she was hopping 

And pecking and chasing the bugs with the rest

And now she is a beautiful chicken 

Though she has only one leg 

When I go to see her each morning 

She hops from the nest and she leaves me an egg 

And she cackles
