Kris Delmhorst - Cluck Old Hen Lyrics
Once I had a heart like a mean old hen,Kept her locked up in a chicken wire penCluckng at the walls, scratching at the ground,Peck at anybody who would come aroundThen one day she didn't sing,I listened close but I didn't hear a thingLooking all around, calling her name,But that was the day my little hen went tameCluck old hen, cluck and singAin't laid nothing since way last springCluck old hen, cluck and squallAin't laid nothing since way last fallWell I made it clink and I made it clank,Shook my heart like a piggy bankLooking for a yes, looking for a no,Looking for anything down in that holeCluck old hen, cluck and singAin't laid nothing since way last springCluck old hen, cluck and squallAin't laid nothing since way last fallOnce I had a heart like a mean old hen,Bound to lose a finger if you stick it in the penMade em yell, made em shout,Made em cry like you read aboutOnce I had a heart like a little child,Once it was greedy, once it was wildKicking like a mule, chewing like a pup,Once upon a time you couldn't shut it upCluck old hen, cluck and singAin't laid nothing since way last springCluck old hen, cluck and squallAin't laid nothing since way last fall
