My old hen, she's a good ol' hen

She lays eggs for the railroad men

Sometimes eight and sometimes ten

That's enough for the railroad men

Chorus

Cluck ol' hen cluck when I tell you

Cluck ol' hen or I'm gonna sell you

Last time she cackled she cackled in the lot

Next time she cackles cackles in the pot

My old hen, she's a good ol' hen

She lays eggs for the railroad men

Sometimes one and sometimes two

Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew

Chorus

Cluck ol' hen cluck and sing

You ain't laid an egg since late last spring

Cluck ol' hen cluck and call

You ain't laid an egg since late last fall
