Red headed picker was sittin' on a limb Ma said chicken but Nellie shot him
|
Wrung his neck and picked him clean the funiest chicken I've ever seen
|
Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me
|
Now Nelie put on her Sunday dress she thought that it would look the best
|
Made out of an old beet sack old beet rope around the back
|
Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me
|

|
Now Nellie went to town one day a ridin' on a bale o'hay
|
Sold a man a trip to Mars now she sits behind the bars
|
Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me
|
Now Nellie's got a pair of shoes and she can wear 'em if she choose
|
Why the heck she's got the blues wants to wear a size twenty two
|
Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me
|

|
Picked a little hog walk in the luck he made three tracks just one duck
|
Nellie said who you think I am that hog's missin' about one hen
|
Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me
|
Hey (barefoot Nellie) ho (barefoot Nellie) hey (barefoot Nellie) you're the one for me
