lyrics
My old hen is a good old hen.
She lays eggs for the railroad men.
Sometimes one, sometimes two,
Sometimes enough for the whole darn crew.
Cluck old hen,
Cluck and sing,
Ain't laid an egg since late last spring.
Cluck old hen,
Cluck and squaw,
Ain't laid an egg since late last fall.
My old hen's got a little wooden leg,
Best little hen that ever laid an egg.
Laid me enough eggs to fill me a barn.
Another shot of whiskey won't do me no harm.
Cluck old hen,
Cluck and sing,
Ain't laid an egg since late last spring.
Cluck old hen,
Cluck and squaw,
Ain't laid an egg since late last fall.
My old hen's a good old hen,
She lays eggs for the railroad men.
Sometimes eight, sometimes ten,
But that's enough for the railroad men.
Cluck old hen,
Cluck and sing,
Ain't laid an egg since late last spring.
Cluck old hen,
Cluck and squaw,
Ain't laid an egg since late last fall.
My old hen's a good old hen.
She lays eggs for the railroad men.
Sometimes eight, sometimes ten,
That's enough for the railroad men.
Cluck old hen,
Cluck and sing,
Ain't laid an egg since late last spring.
Cluck in the barn,
Cluck in the lot,
Next time you cluck, it'll be from a pot.

I was released in Philadelphia the same week as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I stayed there as long as I could
stand, then moved to Baltimore to go to art school. I have played guitar since I was 18. I taught myself. I did it to impress the ladies. It still doesn't work. So, I sing songs about drinking, trains and women, two of which I am familiar with....more
