Chicken Is Nice - Dave Van Ronk

I don’t want no wife from Robert’s Falls

Don’t want no wife from Robert’s Falls

The o-only dish she can cook is fried fish

Don’t want no wife from Robert’s Falls

Chicken is nice, chicken is nice

Chicken is nice

With palm butter and rice

I don’t want no wife from Cape Palmas

Don’t want no wife from Cape Palmas

If I move around, she’ll put me in the ground

I don’t want no wife from Cape Palmas

Chicken is nice…

I don’t want no wife from Sinoe

Don’t want no wife from Sinoe

If I go out at night, she’ll challenge me to fight

I don’t want no wife from Sinoe

Chicken is nice…

I don’t want no wife from Monrovia

Don’t want no wife from Monrovia

When my money gets low, to another she’ll go

I don’t want no wife from Monrovia

Chicken is nice, chicken is nice

Chicken is nice

With palm butter and rice
