Looks like most of them are close to same:
My old hen's a good old hen She lays eggs for the railroad men Sometimes 8 and sometimes ten That's enough for the railroad men
Cluck old hen cluck and sing You ain't laid an egg since late last spring Cluck old hen cluck and squall Ain't laid an egg since late last fall
Cluck old hen cluck when I tell you Cluck old hen or I'm gonna sell you Last time she cackled cackled in the lot Next time she cackles cackle in the pot
My old hen she's a good old hen She lays eggs for the railroad men Sometimes 1 sometimes two Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew
