My old hen she's a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes one sometimes two
That ain't enough for the whole damn crew
Cluck hen cluck and sing
Ain't seen an egg since late last spring
Cluck hen cluck and squall
Ain't seen an egg since late last fall
Old hen I'm telling you
Your hours are growing few
Make use of what you've got
Cause tonight you're in the pot
My old hen she's a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes eight sometimes ten
That's enough for the railroad men
