"Cluck Old Hen" is a popular Appalachian fiddle and banjo tune in the mixolydianordorian mode (as in the score below which is in A dorian). It is played either as an instrumental or with lyrics, which vary from one version to another. One of the earliest reported transcriptions of the tune dates from 1886.[1] The earliest recording is attributed to Fiddlin' John Carson, in 1923.
