Chicken Heads
Heartfelt Blues: Love, Loss, and Chicken Heads in Bobby Rush's Soulful Tune
Lyrics
Daddy told me on his dying bed
Daddy advised me on his deathbed
Give up your heart or don't you lose your head
Choose between love and sanity
You come along girl, what did I do?
A girl came into my life, what mistake did I make?
I lost my heart and my head went too
I fell in love, losing both my heart and reason
Little girl little girl you sure can cook
Complimenting a girl's cooking skills
Little girl little girl you you've got me hooked
Expressing being captivated by the girl
When you cook that chicken save me the head
Requesting to save him the best part of the chicken
I should be working but i'm home in bed
Choosing pleasure over work, staying in bed
I'm thinking about you
Constantly thinking about the girl
I'm dreaming about you
Having dreams centered around the girl
Love that gal
Expressing deep affection for the girl
Love them chicken heads you
Expressing affection for both the girl and metaphorical "chicken heads"
Without your love i just can't go on
Unable to continue without the girl's love
The feelings i have for you is much too strong
Feelings for the girl are overpowering
Let me in
Pleading to be allowed into the girl's life
Let me in
Repetition of the plea to be let in
Let me in
Continued plea for acceptance
My love for you so doggone strong
Expressing intense love for the girl
Like the mississippi river rolls on and on
Comparing the strength of love to the endless Mississippi River
If loving you was doggone crime
If loving were a crime, willing to face consequences
I'd be sitting in jail done flat nine-nine
Ready to serve time in jail for love
I'm thinking about you
Continuing thoughts about the girl
I'm dreaming about you
Dreaming about the girl persistently
I love that gal
Reiterating love for the girl
I love them chicken heads too
Expressing affection for both the girl and metaphorical "chicken heads"
Without your love i just can't go on
Unable to go on without the girl's love
All the feelings i have for you are too doggone strong
Reiterating overwhelming feelings for the girl
Let me in
Pleading once again to be let in
Let me in
Continued plea to be allowed into the girl's life
Let me in
Repeating the plea for acceptance
Love that gal
Expressing deep affection for the girl
Love them chicken heads too
Expressing affection for both the girl and metaphorical "chicken heads"
