I went down to the hen house, the hen house To see what I could happen to find There’s my old chicken, my chicken Good old Martha, that hen of mine Her nest was empty, it’s empty There were no eggs to be found So I had to sit and wait Wait for her to lay an egg down I sang to her this song And she gave one brown egg to me Just goes to show you, to show you Nothing in this word is free I took the egg to the kitchen And cracked it in a hot frying pan This song is now over, its over So don't ask for any bacon
