Chickashay Songtext
von David Houston

In old Oklahoma, right close to a chickashay
The high shared he come and took me away
Down in the valley over the dale
I see Shawnee crying from my lonely self

Well, I hear love birds a-singin′, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-dee
My heart's a-strangin′, black and lonely
Make plans, my little lover, for our wedding day
I'll be home before you miss me, I'll be home to stay


Well, it′s been a year today since they put me away
I′m comin' home, never alone, yes, I′ll be home today

I'm bustin′ rocks with a number nine schlage
The cardman is watchin' me from the top of the ledge
All I get to eat is water and bread
I′m missin' your kissing, my sweet little Shawnee

Well, I hear love birds a-singin', ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-dee
My heart′s a-strangin′, black and lonely
Make plans, my little lover, for our wedding day
I'll be home before you miss me, I′ll be home to stay

Well, I hear love birds a-singin', singin′, singin' singin′ singin'
