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.

Sometimes one, sometimes two 
Sometimes enough for the whole dang crew 
I had an old he, she had a wooden leg The best dang hen that ever laid an egg She laid more eggs than the hens around the barn Another little drink wouldn���t do me no harm
