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
