Lyrics
(American folk song)
1. My old hen’s a good old hen, she laid eggs for railroad men.
Cluck old hen, cluck and squall, ain’t laid an egg since late last fall.
2. Sometimes eight and sometimes ten, She laid eggs for railroad men.
Cluck old hen, cluck and sing, Ain’t laid an egg since late last spring.
