Cluck Old Hen
Can't believe this wasn't on here. Great tune, goofy words, not the best notes perhaps, but it will do. Look for it on Youtube for a better feel for the it. Mostly played on claw hammer banjo.

Lots of people play it on fiddles here....
Makes a good set with 'Home with the Girls in the MOrning' first....

Gosh, can't believe this one made it out here. We did it in A as a medley with Cripple Creek and Chicken Reel. B if we were feeling lucky (sans fiddler). Try the Animal Folk Songs for Children album by the Seegers for a really cool mix version on the dulcimer. I don't have the album on hand or I'd transcribe that take myself.

Three Hens Escape Oblivion
Canadian trad muso, Joel Fafard recorded this tune as part of a two tune medley on his CD, Three Hens Escape Oblivion. A smoking version on banjo, fiddle and bass.
