I "Harper's Bazaar" (July, 1911): "And it wa'n't no hymn they was a-singing, I can tell you. It went like this: There was an old hen and she had a club foot, And she made her nest in a mulberry root. She ruffled up her feathers to keep herself warm, And another little drink wouldn't do us any harm." II Walter B. Stevens, "Missouri, the Center State" (1915): "Popular with boys in Missouri when everybody sang... "O-oh, there was an old hen and she had a wooden leg, The finest old hen that ever laid an egg. She laid more eggs than any hen upon the farm, And another little drink wouldn't do us any harm."
