We Had a Hen

Lyrics

We Had a Hen

We had a hen
No eggs would she lay.
We had a hen
No eggs would she lay.
My man said "Honey, we're losin' money
because that hen,
No eggs would she lay.

And - then - that - ROOSTER!
Came into our yard
And caught that hen
right off of her guard.

She's layin' eggs now
Like she never used to,
Ever since that Rooster
Came into our yard!

We had a dog
No pups would she give.
We had a dog
No pups would she give
My man said "Honey, we're losin' money
because that dog
No pups would she give.

And - then - that - ROOSTER!
Came into our yard
And caught that dog
right off of her guard.

She's havin' bird dogs
Like she never used to,
Ever since that Rooster
Came into our yard!

We had a gumtree
No gum would it bear
We had a gumtree
No gum would it bear
My man said "Honey, we're losin' money
because that gumtree,
No gum would it bear.

And - then - that - ROOSTER!
Came into our yard
And caught that gumtree,
right off of its guard.

It's bearin' chicklets
Like it never used to,
Ever since that Rooster
Came into our yard!
