Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, the old grey gooseis dead.
The one she's been saving, the one she's been saving, the one she's been savingto make a featherbed.
She died in the millpond, she died in the millpond, she died in the millpondfrom standing on her head.
She left nine young goslins; she left nine young goslins; she left nine younggoslins to scratch for their own bread.
Her goslins are weeping, crying and peeping, her goslins are weeping becausetheir mammy's dead.
The old gander's mourning, the old gander's mourning, the old gander's mourningbecause his wife is dead.
The barnyard's a-weeping, the barnyard's a-weeping, the barnyard's a-weepingwaiting to be fed.
Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, we took her in the kitchen and cookedher all day long.
And broke all the fork teeth, broke all the fork teeth, and broke all the forkteeth, they were'nt strong enough.
Broke out Granddad's teeth, broke all Granddad's teeth, broke old Grandad'steeth. The old grey goose is tough.
Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, the old grey gooseis tough.
Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, we hauled her tothe mill.
We'll grind her into sausages and make mincemeat, grind her into sausages ifonly the miller will.
She broke all the saw teeth, broke all the saw teeth, broke all the saw teeth,that old grey goose is tough.
Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, we know this is ashock.
Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, we know this is ashock.
But go tell Aunt Rhody, poor old Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, we buried herunder a rock.
Go run and tell Aunt Rhody, run and tell Aunt Rhody, tun and tell Aunt Rhody,the old grey goose is dead.
