Roy Orbison Miscellaneous Chicken Hearted My girlfriend slipped and fell Now she's hanging from a cliff I can't come to her rescue But these flowers I must sniff You see I'd really like to save her but I aint got the nerve I'm chicken hearted I'm chicken hearted I'm tryin' to kiss my girl And it makes me want to faint I'm scared of my own shadow And afraid of what I ain't I've no inspiration I'm kinda yellow... I'm chicken hearted, I'm chicken hearted Mama's in the workshop Daddy's in the jail I seem to be afraid To go to work and make their bail I guess my folks will have I'm chicken hearted, I'm chicken hearted
