I fell in love with a pretty little hen I've asked her once, but I'll ask her again
Oh, won't you be my wife? She replied, I'll be yours and I'll be true
And I'll lay lots of eggs for you And I'll be yours for the rest of my life
I remember the day, and it's not so far away When they released you as a bullet in the pen
There were twenty of us two, but not so nice as you
Why?
I wanted you to perch with me right then You make me so proud when you go to
After you have laid your daily eggs Went to West Louisa's room
On the floor of their dear home I'll be yours until the master takes my hand
I fell in love with a pretty little hen I've asked her once, but I'll ask her again
Oh, won't you be my wife? She replied, I'll be yours and I'll be true
And I'll lay lots of eggs for you And I'll be yours for the rest of my life
When the day begins to break And we all begin to wake
I will do it soon enough When our food is in the tray
You'll get a whoop-hoop-hoop again
Oh, won't you be my wife? She replied, I'll be yours until the master takes my hand
We'll be a pair all that another day is for When you sit there on the nest
And you try your very best To lay at a bully her to just for me
We will raise a family What a blessing it will be
To have twin chicks, a cock-a-doodle-doo-doodle-dee
I fell in love with a pretty little hen I've asked her once, but I'll ask her again
Oh, won't you be my wife? She replied, I'll be yours until the master takes my hand


Oh, won't you be my wife, she replied
I'll be yours and I'll be true and I'll lay lots of eggs for you
And I'll be yours for the rest of my life
