Cluck Old Hen

Adapted by: Katie Roche

My old hen, she’s a good old hen
She laid eggs for the railroad men
My old hen, she knows what to do
She laid eggs and taters too

Cluck Old Hen, Cluck I say
Cluck Old Hen, oh, any old way
Sometimes one, Sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew

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

Cluck Old Hen, Cluck I say
Cluck Old Hen, oh, any old way
Sometimes one, Sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew

Sweet old hen, scratchin’ in the yard
That old rooster he never gets tired
She does bite, she does prowl
Send old rooster back to eat crow

Cluck Old Hen, Cluck I say
Cluck Old Hen, oh, any old way
Sometimes one, Sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew

My old hen, she’s a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
My old hen, she lives on the farm
Drink to the hen won’t do you no harm

Cluck Old Hen, Cluck I say
Cluck Old Hen, oh, any old way
Sometimes one, Sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew
