My ol' hen, she's a good ol hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes eight and sometimes ten
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Chorus:
Cluck ol' hen cluck and sing
Ain't laid an eggs since way last spring
Cluck ol' hen,cluck and squall
Ain't laid an egg since way last fall
My old hen she's a good ol hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometime one, sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the whole damned crew
Chorus
Cluck ol' hen when I tell you
Cluck ol' hen or I'll sell you
Last time you cackled, you cackled in the lot
Next time you cackle, you'll cackle in a pot
Chorus
My ol' hen, she's a good ol' hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometime one, sometimes two
Sometimes three, and sometimes four
Sometimes five, sometimes six
Sometimes seven and sometimes eight
Sometimes nine, sometimes ten
I really gotta love my cluck ol' hen

(Trad,arr Power Wagon)
Gonna build me a log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see my honey babe
As she goes walkin' bye
Chorus:
Oh The Coo Coo
She's a pretty bird
And she wobbles as she flies
And she never says Coo Coo
'Till the 4th day of July
Jack O' diamonds, jack of diamonds
I have known you from old
You have robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver, and gold
Chorus
I have played cards in England
And I've gambled over in Spain
I'll bet you ten dollars
That I'll beat you next game
Chorus
My horses, they ain't hungry
No they won't eat your hay
I'll ride on a little bit further
I'll feed them on my way
Chorus

I'm going where them chilly winds, chilly winds don't blow
I'm going where them ol' chilly winds don't blow
I'm going where those chilly winds
Chilly winds don't blow
Going down that long lonesome road
Going down that long lonesome road
I'm going where the weather, the weather suits my clothes
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes
I'm going where the weather, the weather suits my clothes
Going down that long lonesome road
Going down that long lonesome road
Well I'm goin' down, way on over town
Gonna see, see my baby Jane
Well I'm goin' down, way on over town
Going down that long lonesome road
Going down that long lonesome road
I'm going where them chilly winds, chilly winds don't blow
I'm going where them ol' chilly winds don't blow
I'm going where those chilly winds
Chilly winds don't blow
Going down that long lonesome road
Going down that long lonesome road

(Trad Arr.Power Wagon)
I'd rather be that mole in the ground
Yes, I'd rather be that mole in the ground
That mole in the ground, well he just digs around
I'd rather be that mole in the ground
I'd rather be a bird up in the sky
Yes I'd rather be that bird in the sky
Oh that bird up in the sky well he just flies so high
I'd rather be a bird up in the sky
I'd rather be now walking down that street
I'd rather be now walking down that street
walking down that street, I smile at people I meet
I'd rather be now walking down that street
I'd rather be a hole in the ground
I'd rather be a hole in the ground
A hole in the ground, is a mountain upside down
I'd rather be a hole in the ground

Dystopia was my introduction to Talisk when the live version of it was out on youtube. Between the energy and life not just by the music itself, but the people playing it being so engrained into the songs themselves, Talisk has become a foot-stomper, and an absolute jam of a band to put on full volume.
