The Hill Billies, Vocalion 5179, Recorded May 13th, 1927

Cluck old hen, cluck and sing
Ain't laid an egg since a-way last spring
Cluck old hen you cluck and squall
Ain't laid an egg since way last fall

My old hen's a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes eight, sometimes ten
That's enough eggs for the railroad men

The old hen cackled, she ris and flew
Well, up comes the rooster and he went along, too
The old hen cackled, she cackled in the lot
Next time she cackled she cackled in the pot

My old hen, she's mighty fine
Every time she cackles, the eggs do fine
I take the eggs to the store
Trade them for snuff and ?never lost more?
