I don't mind the sparrows stealin' my seed

the crow gettin' fat on my corn

but that beady eyed buzzard hangin' 'round my gal

is gonna wish he never was born ( never was born! )



Let the hungry old hawk take a chicken or two

and only the rooster will cry

but the beady eyed buzzard hangin' 'round my gal

is gonna wish he knew how to fly!



Better start flyin'

you better high tail it outta town!

You're headin' straight for trouble

if you keep on a circling 'round!



You can fill up your pockets with ma seed an' ma corn

take my horse, load the wagon up too!

But you beady eyed buzzard stay away from my gal

or else it's gonna be . . . the end of you!



( Better start flyin' . . . )

you better high tail it outta town!

You're headin' straight for trouble

if you keep on a circling 'round!



You can fill up your pockets with ma seed an' ma corn

take my horse, load the wagon up too!

But you beady eyed buzzard stay away from my gal

or else it's gonna be . . . the end of you!



. . . the end of you!
