Cluck old hen, cluck I said
Cluck old hen, your winter's all dead

Cluck old hen, cluck in the lot
The next time you cluck you'll cook in the pot

My old hen's a good ole hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes one, sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the whole dang crew

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