Cluck Old Hen

Cluck old hen, cluck and sing
Ain't laid an egg since 'way last spring

Cluck old hen, cluck and squall
Ain't laid an egg since 'way last fall

My old hen's a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men

Sometimes one, sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew

Sometimes nine, sometimes ten
That's enough eggs for the railroad men

My old hen, she won't do
She lays eggs and taters too
The old hen she's raised on a farm
Now she's in the new ground diggin' up corn

The first time she cackled, she cackled a lot
Next time she cackled, cackled in the pot
