Barefoot Nellie
Reno & Smiley
Key <A>
Lyrics from 1963 television show
Also nice played slower in key <G>
Redhaired
pecker sitting on a limb
Ma said chicken but Nellie got him
Wrung his neck and picked him clean
Funniest chicken I’ve ever seen
Hey Barefoot Nellie
Ho Barefoot Nellie
Hey Barefoot Nellie
You're the one for me
<banjo>
Now
Nellie went to town one day
Ridin' on a load of hay
Sold a man a trip to Mars
And now she sittting behind the bars
<fiddle>
Nellie put on her Sunday dress
Half of it was lookin' best
Made out of an old feed sack
Cow feed wrote right on the back
<banjo>
Now Nellie’s got a pair of shoes
She can wear them if she choose
Why the heck's she got the blues?
Who wants to wear size 22
