Cluck old hen-Clawhammer banjo in Sawmill tuning
Музыка
Cluck old hen is early fiddle tune from the Appalachian mountains around the 1880's. And it is still is popular as an oldtime standard square dance and jam tune! Wow, that is some staying power! This is one of those oldtime tunes that sounds good fast and driving, but also can sound cool when it's slow and groovy. Thanks for watching!
The banjo is in Sawmill Tuning (also called mountain minor, mountain modal)

Lyrics and Chords
Key of A
A G
My old hen is a good old hen,
A E A
She lays eggs for the railroad men.
A G
Sometimes one, sometimes two,
A E A
That’s enough for the railroad crew.
A G
Cluck old Hen, Cluck and sing,
A E A
Ain’t laid an egg since way last spring.
A G
Cluck old hen, cluck and squall,
A E A
You ain’t laid an egg since way last fall.
______________________________________________________________________
My old hen’s got a wooden leg
Best old hen to ever lay an egg
Sometimes nine, sometimes 10
That’s enough for the railroad men
My old hen, she wouldn’t lay an egg
So I poured hot water up and down her leg
First time she cackled, she cackled in the lot
Next time she cackles she cackles in the pot

Magic the melody comes out of the movement of hand over Banjo
Sawmill tuning I LOVE it...
Unbelievable. So pretty. And can play. Blows my tiny mind
I realized I forgot how to play cluck ol' hen. Thinking to myself, "I want to play this in sawmill" went looking at how it's played and of course Hillary's got a video, and of course it's in double C. She loves the ol' sawmill. I've been playing through her songbook but didn't even think to check her channel for this one. Great book by the way. If you like her style pick it up!
pretty pickin!!!!
For a new player trying to get my head around the basics, it was really helpful the way you slowed things right down. Thanks.
That tuning is just so haunting, I can't stop hearing it in my head.
Only just begun clawhammer and came across this Chanel, wonderful playing and beautiful voice, doesn’t get better than this!
o lord have mercy on my soul ,,,,what a beautiful lady ,, Ian Maher ,, from Ireland, coal mining ancestors, love the sound saw mill tuning works great on mandolin , and fiddle , you rocked my soul ,, from Ian , a man who worked the shovel as a young man , and a man who got his PHD (the real way) from tcd Dublin , and still in early 50's and feeling great,, live on ,, long live the mountain tradition, much love ,,
Ma'am, I don't need tabs anymore, watchin' your videos is all I need. Thank you so much!!!
Hi Hilary, thanks for all of your videos, they have been a tremendous help. It's a pleasure to watch you play.
Really great!!
i love this sound,I got me a banjo coming in on friday,Cluck old hen is the first i want to learn.
Wonderful! One of my favorite old time tunes. Simple, yet so much there to play with. With or without the vocals. Nice playing!
Thank you for this video! I am learning banjo and claw hammer is my absolute favorite technique! I love that tune! Great video!
I am learning Jed Clampett and Salt Creek, so I really, really enjoyed your video. I play Scruggs style on a $300 Epiphone and I play with the Prince George Old Time Fiddlers and I am the token banjo player. I try to learn guitar and banjo closed chords at the same time. I love that old song. Thanks again. Richard
I love this song. Sound great in Sawmill. thanks for sharing.
Tis is the best version, thanks a lot!
Thank you for this lovely tune. One of my favorites on guitar and now I am learning it on banjo. You explain the sawmill tuning very clearly. Best wishes and keep picking! Your tutorials are all great!
These videos help me so much!
I am learning the banjo and decided to try and tackle this song in a songbook I have. Hearing and watching you play was incredibly helpful. Thank you for posting : )
Superior Lesson!.. so you are spot on..MORE MORE MORE
Very smooth and polished
Lovely playing Hilary! You're amazing, I'll do a version of this soon
I can learn that! Just getting started on the banjo! TY!
Very nice, same as the version in the Ignoramus book which I learnt this week! Some tunes I learn and then I leave them but this is one I think I'll be going back to a lot!
This is great, thank you!!
awesome!
Hey great video! I like how you did the tune in different speeds, it was very helpful. Thanks!
Great video, a new player here, love the way you did this!
I really like your banjo tone.
This is very similar to Vestor Jones version - he plays in sawmill with the banjo tuned down a whole tone. I love to bend the notes on third and fourth string :)
One of my favorites!! High Five
Nice!
I'm currently learning little maggie, then once I have that learnt, this is the next one. I haven't really messed with other tunings so I'm looking forward to it, great videos by the way. Cheers
Another new player, here. Thanks!
Howdy ms Hilary,, Could you play a long 10 minute version of this and a song called Sally in the Garden. An extended version of both songs if you could please. Your new fan. brother Harvey

And here I thought Dock Boggs wrote "Oh Death"

I don't think she is, I did not see her thumb play any string other than the 5th.
Hilary... Please straighten your painting behind you! Great playing btw
Wow cool how much can I buy a banjo like that for?
Do you have any songs about 🐓 Roosters...we used to have a donkey in the field next to us that would go off he hawing at about 3or 4in the afternoon and my mom would laugh everyday.
Really like your playing. Just curious, what kind of banjo do you have? I'm thinking about upgrading from my Deering Goodtime.
