My old hen's a good old hen
She lays eggs for the section men
Sometimes one, sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the whole blamed crew

Cluck old hen, cluck I tell you
Cluck old hen, or I'm a-going to sell you
Cluck old hen, cluck, I say
Cluck, old hen, or I'll give you away

My old hen's a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes one, sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the president too

Cluck old hen, cluck I tell you
Cluck old hen, or I'm a-going to sell you
Cluck old hen, cluck, I say
Cluck, old hen, or I'll give you away
