Learned from Vester Jones, southwestern Virginia
My old hen she's a good old hen She lays eggs for the railroad men Sometimes one sometimes two Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew
CHORUS: Cluck old hen you cluck and squall Ain't laid an egg since way last fall Cluck old hen you cluck and sing Ain't laid a egg since way last spring
My old hen she cackled in the lot Next time she cackled she cackled in the pot My old hen she cackled in the yard Next time she cackled she cackled in the lard
