Cluck Old Hen
02:03
|

|
I had an old hen, she had a wooden leg
Best old hen that ever laid an egg
Laid more eggs than any hen around the barn
Another shot of whiskey wouldn't do me any harm
Cluck old hen, cluck and sing
Ain't seen an egg since a-way last spring
Cluck old hen, cluck and squall,
Ain't laid an egg since a-way last fall
My old hen's a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes one sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew
Cluck old hen, cluck and sing
Ain't seen an egg since a-way last spring
Cluck old hen cluck and squall,
Ain't laid an egg since a-way last fall
Cluck old hen, cluck in the lot
Next time you cackle you'll cackle in the pot

You Led Me to the Wrong
04:35
|

|
Oh, Lordy, me, and it's oh, Lordy my
Oh honey, you led me to the wrong
Some people are born with silver and gold
Others have husbands and wives
I never had a thing in this whole wide wicked world
Now, I'm losing my life
Now, I'm losing my life
You promised me that we would be wed
On this I laid my money down
You were seen a-courtin' my best friend
You caused me to shoot him down
You caused me to shoot him down
Well the love of a woman is bitter but sweet
Even though she turns him down
The price I have to pay may come to you some day
And you'll in the sea of sorrow drown
And you'll in the sea of sorrow drown
Well, they say I have a right to my very last few words
Before they pull this scaffold down
A man has to fight for what he thinks is right
Even if it puts him in the ground
Even if it puts him in the ground
Now it's going to put me in the ground
Oh, Lordy, me, and it's oh, Lordy my
Oh, honey, you led me to the wrong

Warfare
03:31
|
|||
|
My Lord told his disciples
After I am risen and gone
You will meet with troubles and trials
Bide by your rebukes and scorn
Chorus:
My warfare will soon be ended
My race is almost run
My warfare will soon be ended
And I am coming home
You can rebuke me all you want to
I'm traveling home to God
I'm well acquainted with the crosses
and all my ways are hard
(Chorus)
They say my lord is the devil
They call his saints the same
I'm not expecting any more down here
Than grief and scorn and shame
(Chorus)
God bless them holiness people
The Presbyterians too
The good old shouting Methodists
And the praying Baptists too
(Chorus)
And when you get to heaven
I want to see you there
And when I say amen
I want you to say so too
(Chorus)
