CLUCK OLD HEN [3]. AKA and see "Old Aunt Katie [3]." American, Reel. USA, southwestern Pa. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. In this case the "Cluck Old Hen" title is a floating one, attached to a piece of Scottish origin usually called in southwestern Pa. "Old Aunt Katie." It was collected in the region with a rhyme not dissimilar to the usual "Cluck Old Hen" ditties:

Cluck old hen, cluck right along;
Cluck old hen, till your chickens rolls on;
Cluck old hen, and I don't give a damn--
I can git a woman if you can git a man. (Bayard)

The melody (in song and dance airs), finds Samuel Bayard (1981), is descended from the Scots tunes "Marquis of Hastings' Strathspey," "Lord Moira('s Welcome)" and "Loudon's Bonnie Woods and Braes."
