about

These lyrics may not be completely in order since we decided to record this song on a whim, but hopefully they help make what we're singing just a little bit easier to make out!

lyrics

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

Oh cluck ol' hen, cluck and sing,
Ain't laid an egg since way last spring,
Oh cluck ol' hen baby 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 one and sometimes two,
That's enough for the whole damn crew

Oh cluck ol' hen, cluck and sing,
Ain't laid an egg since way last spring,
Oh cluck ol' hen baby 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.
First time she cackles she cackled in the lot,
Next time she cackles she'll cackle in the pot

Oh cluck ol' hen, cluck and sing,
Ain't laid an egg since way last spring,
Oh cluck ol' hen baby cluck and squall,
Ain't laid an egg since way last fall.
