My Uncle Used to Love Me but She Died

My uncle used to love but she died

A chicken ain't chicken 'til it's lickin' good and fried

Keep on the sunny side

My uncle used to love me but she died

Who'll bid me quarter, thirty cents for a ring of keys

Three sixty-five for a dollar bill of groceries

I'll have me a car of my own someday but 'til then I need me a ride

My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love but she died

A chicken ain't chicken 'til it's lickin' good and fried

Keep on the sunny side

My uncle used to love me but she died

Hamburger, cup of coffee, lettuce, and tomato

Two times a dime to see a man kiss the alligator

One more time around free on the Ferris wheel ride

My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love but she died

A chicken ain't chicken 'til it's lickin' good and fried

Keep on the sunny side

My uncle used to love me but she died

Apples are for eatin' and snakes are for hissin'

I've heard about a'huggin' and I've heard about kissin'

I read about it free in a fifty cent illustrated guide

My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love but she died

A chicken ain't chicken 'til it's lickin' good and fried

Keep on the sunny side

My uncle used to love me but she died

Well, my uncle used to love but she died

A chicken ain't chicken 'til it's lickin' good and fried

Keep on the sunny side

My uncle used to love me but she died

Hey, my uncle used to love me but she died

A chicken ain't chicken 'til it's lickin' good and fried
