Hen in the Foxhouse Songtext
von Rhiannon Giddens

I′m just a hen in the fox house
A pigeon set amongst the cats
I'm just a hen in the fox house
A pigeon set amongst the cats
A sheep in wolf′s clothing
And there ain't no changing that

I met a man last Sunday, thought he had me at hello
And wasn't he surprised when I looked at him and said, "No"
He kept on coming at me, the answer to his every wish
Wasn′t he surprised when he walked into my fist


I′m just a hen in the fox house
A pigeon set amongst the cats
I'm just a hen in the fox house
A pigeon set amongst the cats
A sheep in wolf′s clothing
And there ain't no changing that

Hmm-ahh

I′m a woman in man's world, and there ain′t no changing that
And boys, they will be boys, fighting over every cat
They jockey for position, stand head-to-head each day
But I really don't care how big it is
Long as you keep it out of my way
Just keep it out of my way, oh, oh, oh

I'm just a hen in the fox house
A pigeon set amongst the cats
I′m just a hen in the fox house
A pigeon set amongst the cats
A sheep in wolf′s clothing
And there ain't no turning back
