If you have ever heard of the small town that is La Grange, chances are you know it due to the infamous history of the Chicken Ranch. Although many stories and rumors exist about the Chicken Ranch, the truth is much less inflammatory. But the truth is, the Chicken Ranch was the Oldest Continually Operating Non-Floating Whorehouse in the United States when it shuttered its doors in 1973. Read the whole story here: ( visit link) Now the Chicken Ranch is long gone – literally. After it closed and the prostitutes moved on, the building was sold and hauled to Dallas where, for awhile, it served as a restaurant that served – what else? Chicken. Later, the building burned to the ground and that was that. Today, there’s nothing left of the Chicken Ranch. But, in our imaginations, the most famous brothel of them all lives on and on.

Relevant Verse:
Rumour spreadin' 'round
In that Texas town
About that shack outside La Grange
And you know what I'm talkin' about
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range
They got a lot of nice girls
Have mercy
A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw
A haw, haw, haw
Well, I hear it's fine
If you got the time
And the ten to get yourself in
A hmm, hmm
And I hear it's tight
Most ev'ry night
But now I might be mistaken
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Have mercy
