From Larry Sigmon & Barbara Poole, Unique Sound Of The Mountains Volume 5: Cricket On The Hearth (2004)

Well I had an old hen, a good old hen
She laid eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes eight and sometimes ten
That's enough for the railroad men

Now, cluck old hen, cluck, something's wrong
Cluck old hen, where your chicken's all gone?
Cluck old hen, cluck and squall
You ain't laid a egg since a-way last fall

Well, the first time she cackled, she cackled in the pot
The next time she cackled, well, she cackled a lot

My old hen, she won't do
She lays eggs and taters too

Now, cluck old hen, cluck, something's wrong
Cluck old hen, where your chicken's all gone?
Cluck old hen, cluck and squall
You ain't laid a egg since a-way last fall

I had a little hen, she had a wooden leg
The best danged hen that ever laid a egg
Lair more eggs than the hens around the farm
Another little drink wouldn't do a-no harm

Now, cluck old hen, cluck, something's wrong
Cluck old hen, where your chicken's all gone?
Cluck old hen, cluck and squall
You ain't laid a egg since a-way last fall

Now, cluck old hen, cluck, something's wrong
Cluck old hen, where your chicken's all gone?
Cluck old hen, cluck and squall
You ain't laid a egg since a-way last fall
