THE OLD HEN CACKLED AND THE ROOSTER'S GOING TO CROW
As recorded by Fiddlin' John Carson, 1923,

The old hen cackled, everybody knows.
The old hen cackled and the rooster's gonna crow.

Old shanghai way over the hill now!

Poor old banty in the back yard!

The old hen cackled, cackled mighty loud,
Laid a little egg, walked mighty proud.

The old hen cackled, cackled in the lot.
The last time she cackled, cackled in the pot.
