Chicken Shack Songtext
von Pinetop Perkins

Alrighty
Thank you very much y′all
It's star time (one, two)

Ladies and gentlemen
As I said it′s star time once again
We got a young man in the house
Invited to have a birthday y'all
Glad you're all here to wish him many more


Yes he′s about to make eighty-five years old
This young man was born back in 1913
Belzoni, Mississippi
He′s a 1998 Grammy nominee
Won the handies several times
Give it to him, the finest
The number one blues piano player in the land
Pinetop Perkins

Hey Jack, I just got back
I'm looking for the place they call the Chicken Shack
They say it′s fine as wine
You know and it's strictly on the bowl
No windows, no doors, there′s just a hole in the wall

Right down there where you get fine stuff to eat
You better be careful how you take a seat
Don't never get right all the money you have spent
When you get back home boy
You′ll be hollow to pay your rent
There's a turn


Thank you
Yeah, testing one, two
One, two
Yeah, you a one, two
Alright
