Once I had a wee brown hen, it had a wee brown tail. I sent it for a penny of sweeties it never back again. Now it's dead and in it's grave, many a many a day. God bless my wee hen. It never came back again.

Notes: I didn't write this but rather my Mum sang it to me when I was young. I don't know where it came from or if anyone has ever heard it before but I will always remember it. It's so sad!
