Original text | |
My old hen's a good old hen She lay eggs for the railroad men Sometimes one, sometimes two Sometimes enough for the whole dang crew. (Chorus:) Cluck old hen, cluck and sing Ain't laid an egg since late last spring. Cluck old hen, cluck and squall Ain't laid an egg since late last fall. My old hen, she won't do She lays eggs and taters too. Sometimes nine, sometimes ten That's enough eggs for the railroad men. (Chorus) My 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. | |
