Cluck Old Hen Lyrics - Singles - Kris Delmhorst

Once I had a heart like a mean old hen 

Kept her locked up in a chicken wire pen 

Clucking at the walls, scratching at the ground 

Peck at anybody who would come around 

Then one day she didn't sing 

I listened close but I didn't hear a thing 

Looking all around, calling her name 

But that was the day my little hen went tame 

Cluck old hen, cluck and sing 

Ain't laid nothing since way last spring 

Cluck old hen, cluck and squall 

Ain't laid nothing since way last fall 

Well, I made it clink and I made it clank 

Shook my heart like a piggy bank 

Looking for a yes, looking for a no 

Looking for anything down in that hole 

Cluck old hen, cluck and sing 

Ain't laid nothing since way last spring 

Cluck old hen, cluck and squall 

Ain't laid nothing since way last fall 

Once I had a heart like a mean old hen 

Bound to lose a finger if you stick it in the pen 

Made 'em yell, made 'em shout 

Made 'em cry like you read about 

Once I had a heart like a little child 

Once it was greedy, once it was wild 

Kicking like a mule, chewing like a pup 

Once upon a time you couldn't shut it up 

Cluck old hen, cluck and sing 

Ain't laid nothing since way last spring 

Cluck old hen, cluck and squall 

Ain't laid nothing since way last fall
