hear the shriekin' and the cryin'
some live and some are dyin'
full moon rule the night until the dawn
fates have been decided
by dice it's been confided
all your dreams down the road and gone

there's a badger in the henhouse
whole lotta squawkin' goin' on

the rain has been a-fallin'
from Mobile to New Orleans
place your bets the spinnin' wheel decides
are you good or are you lucky
there's a house down in Kentucky
run so fast the devil swear he fly

there's badger in the henhouse
you can hear the women cry

there's some pushin' and some shovin'
I know you need your lovin'
midnight come the mule kick down the stall
the game that we been playin'
there's a price we will be payin'
if we walk the edge we're gonna fall

there's a badger in the henhouse 
and the badger's come to call

Badger In The Hen House
