"LET'S FORGET ABOUT THOSE BULLFROGS,

AND GO OUT AND STEAL SOME CHICKENS.

Roosevelt & Ira Lee - Tony Joe White (1969)

(Disclaimer: Small Town Talk does not condone the stealing of chickens - or anything else for that matter)

(Kurt Cobain, of course is wrong. Leadbelly did not write "In The Pines"/"Where Did You Sleep Last Night" - but he must take credit for the most imitated adaptation of this song.
