[Verse 3]
Chicken when I’m hungry
White lightning when I’m dry
Chicken when I’m hungry
White lightning when I’m dry
And a real kind woman
Lord heaven, when I die
[Verse 4]
When I get to heaven
Sit down in the sweet old chair
When I get to heaven
I’m gon’ sit down in the sweet old chair
I’ll say [?] St. Peter
You got any white lightning there
