'Go tell Aunt Rhody' lyrics

Go tell Aunt Rhody, Go tell Aunt Rhody, Go tell Aunt Rhody The old gray goose is dead.

The one she's been saving, The one she's been saving, The one she's been saving To make a feather bed.

The goslings are cryin’, The goslings are cryin’, The goslings are cryin’, Because their mammy’s dead.

She died in the mill pond, She died in the mill pond, She died in the mill pond From standing on her head.

So Go tell Aunt Rhody, Go tell Aunt Rhody, Go tell Aunt Rhody The old gray goose is dead.
