about

Traditional African American folksong with original lyrics by Andy Furgeson/Red Yarn

lyrics

(The old hen she cackled) She cackled in the barn
(Next time she cackled) She cackled in the yard
(The old hen she cackled) She cackled in the stable
(Next time she cackled) She cackled at the table

She cackled in the loft
She cackled in the trough
She cackled in the stable
“We won’t end up on the table”

She cackled in the morning
She cackled out a warning
She cackled late at night
She cackled for her rights
She cackled really quiet
She cackled up a riot
She cackled out loud
Next time she cackled, “I’m a chicken and I’m proud”

All my little chickies well I want you to know
All my little chickies gettin ready to go
All my little chickies we’re a-leavin tonight
All my little chickies gonna stand up and fight

All my little chickies well I want you to live
All my little chickies well I want you to give
Everything you got to all that you believe in
All my little chickies it’s time we got leavin

All my little chickies well I want you to shine
All my little chickies steppin out of that line
Open up your eyes and let yourself see that
All my little chickies got a right to be free, yeah

She cackled on her feet
She cackled in the street
She cackled at the protest
“I cannot condone this”
She cackled to the boardroom
She cackled in the courtroom
A beacon like a lighthouse
Next time she cackled, she cackled at the White House
