Any One Remember This Little Poem?

I visit The Kentucky Explorer site where they have a Message Board. Some month's ago this bit of information was posted....
Does anyone remember a nursery rhyme or
: poem talking about pouring hot water up
: and down a chickens leg?

I have searched any number of times over several months to find the pieces of the puzzle to this little poem and I have found it! Enjoy!
Gary/Louisville

I had a little chicken
Who wouldn't lay an egg
So I poured hot water
Up and down her leg.
The little chicken hollered
And the little chicken begged
And that darn little chicken
Layed a hard-boiled egg!

Turkey in the Straw!

It's a song, as I recall.

Turkey in the Straw

As I was a-goin'
On down the road
With a tired team
And a heavy load
I cracked my whip
And the leader sprung
I says day-day
To the wagon tongue

Turkey in the straw
(Whistle)
Turkey in the straw
(Whistle)
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw

Went out to milk
And I didn't know how
I milked the goat
Instead of the cow
A monkey sittin'
On a pile of straw
A-winkin' at
His mother-in-law

Turkey in the straw
(Whistle)
Turkey in the straw
(Whistle)
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw

I came to the river
And I couldn't get across
So I paid five dollars
For a big bay hoss
Well, he wouldn't go ahead
And he wouldn't stand still
So he went up and down
Like an old saw mill

Turkey in the straw
(Whistle)
Turkey in the straw
(Whistle)
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw

Did you ever go fishin'
On a warm summer day
When all the fish
Were swimmin' in the bay
With their hands in their pockets
And their pockets in their pants
Did you ever see a fishie
Do the Hootchy-Kootchy Dance?

Turkey in the straw
(Whistle)
Turkey in the straw
(Whistle)
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw

and the chicken song, sung to the tune of Turkey in the Straw:
Well I had a little chicken and she wouldn’t lay an egg
So I poured hot water up and down her leg.
Well the little chicken cried and the little chicken begged
and the darned old chicken laid a hard boiled egg.

Well I had a little monkey and his name was Tiny Tim
And I put him in the bathtub just to see if he could swim.
And he drank up all the water and he ate up all the soap
And he tried to eat the bathtub but it wouldn’t fit down his throat.

Mama called the doctor and the doctor called the nurse
and the nurse called the lady with the alligator purse.
Well the monkey ate the doctor and the monkey ate the nurse
and the monkey ate the lady with the alligator purse.

Did you ever go fishing on a hot summer day
and you’re sittin’ on a rail and the rail gives away?
With your hands in your pockets and your pockets in your pants
Watchin’ the fishes do the Hoochie Kootchie dance.

Did you ever go huntin for a fat bull frog
and you find one sittin’ on a bumpety log.
And you yell, “Here’s a frog!” and the frog says, “Nay!”
“I’m a little green birdie with my feathers washed away!”

Well I walked around the corner and I walked around the block.
And I walked right in to a donut shop.
And I pulled up a donut out of the grease.
And I handed the lady a five cent piece.
She looked at the nickel
She looked at me.
She said, “This nickel is no good, you see!”
“It’s got a hole in the middle, all the way through
and I said, “There’s a hole in your donut too!”
