Cluck old hen-Clawhammer banjo in Sawmill tuning

Cluck old hen is early fiddle tune from the Appalachian mountains around the 1880's. And it is still is popular as an oldtime standard square dance and jam tune! Wow, that is some staying power! This is one of those oldtime tunes that sounds good fast and driving, but also can sound cool when it's slow and groovy. Thanks for watching!

The banjo is in Sawmill Tuning (also called mountain minor, mountain modal)

Lyrics and Chords
Key of A
A G
My old hen is a good old hen,
A E A
She lays eggs for the railroad men.
A G
Sometimes one, sometimes two,
A E A
That’s enough for the railroad crew.
A G
Cluck old Hen, Cluck and sing,
A E A
Ain’t laid an egg since way last spring.
A G
Cluck old hen, cluck and squall,
A E A
You ain’t laid an egg since way last fall.

______________________________________________________________________

My old hen’s got a wooden leg
Best old hen to ever lay an egg
Sometimes nine, sometimes 10
That’s enough for the railroad men

My old hen, she wouldn’t lay an egg
So I poured hot water up and down her leg
First time she cackled, she cackled in the lot
Next time she cackles she cackles in the pot
