Cluck Old Hen

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, sometimes ten
That's enough for the railroad men

Cluck ol' hen, cluck and sing
You ain't laid an egg since late last spring
Cluck ol' hen, cluck and squall
You ain't laid an egg since late last fall

My old hen, she's a good ol' hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes one, sometimes two
That's not enough for the railroad crew
