Barefoot Nellie

Redheaded pecker sittin' on a limb

Ma Chicken Nellie got a hen

Wrung his neck and plucked him clean

Funniest chicken you ever seen

Nellie went to town one day

Ridin' on a load of hay

Sold a man a trip to Mars

And now she sits behind the bars.

Nell put on her Sunday dress

Most of it was lookin' best

Made out of an old feed sack

Poppy wrote right on the back.
