chicken hearted alt version

Roy Orbison

(Bill Justis)
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 to stay there
Cos I m just like a snail
I m chicken hearted,
I m chicken hearted
