Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, 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 featherbed. She died in the millpond, she died in the millpond, she died in the millpond from standing on her head. She left nine young goslins; she left nine young goslins; she left nine young goslins to scratch for their own bread. Her goslins are weeping, crying and peeping, her goslins are weeping because their mammy's dead. The old gander's mourning, the old gander's mourning, the old gander's mourning because his wife is dead. The barnyard's a-weeping, the barnyard's a-weeping, the barnyard's a-weeping waiting to be fed. Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, we took her in the kitchen and cooked her all day long. And broke all the fork teeth, broke all the fork teeth, and broke all the fork teeth, they were'nt strong enough. Broke out Granddad's teeth, broke all Granddad's teeth, broke old Grandad's teeth. The old grey goose is tough. Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, the old grey goose is tough. Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, we hauled her to the mill. We'll grind her into sausages and make mincemeat, grind her into sausages if only 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 a shock. Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, we know this is a shock. But go tell Aunt Rhody, poor old Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, we buried her under a rock. Go run and tell Aunt Rhody, run and tell Aunt Rhody, tun and tell Aunt Rhody, the old grey goose is dead.
