Lyrics for Cluck Old Hen

My old hen, she's a good ol' hen She lays eggs for the railroad men Sometimes eight and sometimes ten That's enough for the railroad men Chorus Cluck ol' hen cluck when I tell you Cluck ol' hen or I'm gonna sell you Last time she cackled she cackled in the lot Next time she cackles cackles in the pot My old hen, she's a good ol' hen She lays eggs for the railroad men Sometimes one and sometimes two Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew Chorus Cluck ol' hen cluck and sing You ain't laid an egg since late last spring Cluck ol' hen cluck and call You ain't laid an egg since late last fall
