A
Bobby Joe and Betty got a real nice farm
A
Everybody knows that they work real hard
D
Bobby Joe sweating in the noonday sun
A
Betty right beside him until the work's all done
E
But every now and then they get a strong desire
D
To crawl up in the hay and set the barn on fire
[Chorus]
A
Now the hay needs hauling, the hogs needs slop
D
The corn needs cutting but the tractor's stopped
A
They climbing up the ladder, clear to the loft
D
Shucking those dirty old work clothes off
A
Singing brown chicken, brown cow
(Ain't nobody watching but the)
A
Brown chicken, brown cow, yeah
[Verse 2]
A
Black crow sitting on a weather-vane
A
He can see them coming from a mile away
D
Yeah, he's caw-caw-cawing out a loud alarm
A
Hey y'all, Bobby Joe and Betty heading for the barn
E
Now the chicken ain't pecking and the cow won't eat
D
They're fighting each other for a front row seat
[Chorus]
A
Now the hay needs hauling, the hogs needs slop
D
The corn needs cutting but the tractor's stopped
A
They climbing up the ladder, clear to the loft
D
Shucking those dirty old work clothes off
A
Singing brown chicken, brown cow
(Ain't nobody watching but the)
A
Brown chicken, brown cow, yeah
A
Now the hay needs hauling, the hogs needs slop
D
The corn needs cutting but the tractor's stopped
A
They climbing up the ladder, clear to the loft
D
Shucking those dirty old work clothes off
A
Singing brown chicken, brown cow
(Ain't nobody watching but the)
A
Brown chicken, brown cow
(Ain't nobody watching)
[Outro]
A
Brown chicken, brown cow
(Ain't nobody watching but)
A
Brown chicken, brown cow
