Once I had a heart like a mean old hen
Kept her locked up in a chicken wire pen
Clucking 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
Перевод
Когда-то у меня было сердце, как у злой старой курицы
Держала ее взаперти в загоне из проволочной сетки
Квохтала по стенам, царапала землю
Клюла любого, кто подходил
Однажды она не пела
Я прислушивалась, но ничего не слышала
Оглядывалась вокруг, звала ее по имени
Но в тот день моя маленькая курочка стала ручной
Кухнет старая курица, кудахчет и поет
Не несёт ничего с прошлой весны
Кухает старая курица, кудахчет и шквал
Ничего не несёт с прошлой осени
Ну, я заставил его звенеть, и я заставил его звякнуть
Встряхнуло мое сердце, как копилку
Ищу "да", ищу "нет"
Ищу что-нибудь в этой дыре
Кудахтайте, старая курица, кудахтайте и пойте
Ничего не неслась с прошлой весны
Кухталась старая курица, кудахтала и визжала
Ничего не неслась с прошлой осени
Однажды я сердце, как у злой старой курицы
Обязано потерять палец, если ты засунишь его в ручку
Заставило их кричать, заставило их кричать
Заставило их плакать, как вы читали
Когда-то у меня было сердце, как у маленького ребенка
Когда-то оно было жадным, когда-то оно было диким
Пылало, как мул, грызло, как щенок
Однажды ты не мог его заткнуть
Кахахнет старая курица, кудахчет и поет
Не несёт ничего с прошлой весны
Кухает старая курица, кудахчет и шквал
Ничего не несёт с прошлой осени
