PETERSON'S RANCH
performed on:- PLAYTIME TOUR (1983)
- CHILD junket (2004-05)
A beloved throwaway, Jay Kay Ray's parody of the Southern lifestyle -- his first lead vocal -- had not been performed live in over twenty years until its unexpected resurgence in 2004. In the background you can hear a sample of the thematically similar (and very rare) "crazyshit" mix of "Nachos."
Why don't you hop over the tailgate
And come with me down to Peterson's Ranch
Maw's cookin' some chitlins
We're gonna have turnips
And we'll see the sights across the state line
Whenever I get to feelin' down
I remember when I grew up
And went to Peterson's Ranch
Where the only complicated world
Was in the henhouse
When Bess and me was kids
We used to fill our shoes with chicken feed
Then we snuck out the house
Went into the chicken coop
And ran around in circles all night
And the biggest problem
Aside from all those goddamn ducks
Down at Peterson's Ranch
Aside from all those goddamn insects
Is those goddamn foxes
The goddamn foxes ate my chickens
And the goddamn owl killed my cat
Down at Peterson's Ranch
Where you're never alone
