Great
Chick and Mama
were my fa vorite hippie couple
and their great Siberian dog.
They lived in the hills down
in East Kentucky
where the rain comes after the clouds
She was scheduled to go
in for an operation
but she kept pulling it off
Oh it's sad what happened to Malda
Oh it's sad what happened to Malda
She counted the rings in the old oak tree
While an archer played in the stream
She wanted to tell him
about an idea she had
But she couldn't remember the dream
It was late in September
when they took her away
Oh my, it was unusually cold
Boy said,
what happened to Malta?
Craig shook him all the time,
he's staying in the bushes
To remember the vow
But it wasn't to last
more than 48 hours
Oh, he broke off a branch
and walked to the steeple
But he couldn't remember the prayers
He went to the ranch
and he talked to the people
But it all seemed like rustling hair
Chicken grace sat on the porch
It was unusual and it cold
Oh, it's sad what happened to Mauda
Oh, it's sad what happened to Mauda
Oh oh oh
Oh say what happened to Malta?
Oh oh oh oh
Say what happened to Malta?
oh oh
