Duration: P00H04M36S
Description: Cluck Ol' Hen is a very popular tune in both the Old-time and Bluegrass traditions.

lyrics

(Trad,arr Power Wagon)

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

DAWN
by Talisk

supported by 4 fans who also own “Cluck Ol'Hen/ Brown's Dream”

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. ladyoforion
