Traditional, arr. by Holly Golightly [ bonus points for using chicken noises as percussion ] My old hen was a good old hen She laid eggs for the railroad men Sometimes one, sometimes two She lays eggs for the whole damn crew / A C / A G / : {refrain} Cluck old hen, cluck and sing Ain't laid an egg since way last spring Cluck old hen, you cluck and squall Ain't laid an egg since way last fall / Am G / : My old hen make a great big fuss Wake up mama and it's making her cuss Pick and squall, cackle and strut I think everybody hates her guts {refrain} My old hen's a mean old hen Keep her locked in a barbed wire pen Lost me work, costs me corn Scratching that dirt the whole day long {as refrain} Cluck old hen, cluck I say Cluck old hen, all dead your lay Cluck old hen, lay us corn Cluck old hen, you'll soon be gone |
