- Comments
- This is a very complicated family of songs. There were multiple "Chicken Don't Roost" songs written in the latter 1800s and most of the respective performances have very floating lyrics. Fred Lyons published a song in 1887 called "Dem Chickens Roost Too High" that many are attributed too, but the performances' lyrics vary significantly.
