Once I Got A Splinter In The Joint Of My Little Toe

And A Garter Snake Bit My Knee By The Bend Of The Little St. Joe

Honey That's Missouri, The Land Of The Dust And The Toad

It's A Wonderful Town, Chicken Road



Once I Had A Scorpion On The Lobe Of My Good Right Ear

And I Lived With My Great-great Grandma

Who Could Hear What She Wanted To Hear

Honey That's Missouri, The Land Where The Sky Overflows

It's A Wonderful Town, Chicken Road



Beasts Of Burden, Nip At Their Hay

And A Poolroom Banjo Playin' To The Close Of Every Day

Night So Quiet, You Could Hear A Mouse

Tippin' Through The Parlor Of A Boarding House



Once I Got A Sunburn On The Back Of My Itchin' Neck

Went For A Ride In A Model-T And I Died In A Beautiful Wreck

Honey That's Missouri, The Land That The Lord Never Knowed

Yes, It's A Wonderful Town, Chicken Road
