Cluck Old Hen — текст песни (Kris Delmhorst)

Once I had a heart like a mean old hen,
Kept her locked up in a chicken wire pen
Cluckng 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
