Lullaby

Go tell Aunt Rhody
Go tell Aunt Rhody
Go tell Aunt Rhody
That the old grey 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.

Old gander's weeping . . .
Because his wife is dead.

The goslins are crying . . .
Because their mother's dead.

Go tell Aunt Rhody . . .
That the old grey goose is dead.
