"Aunt Rhody" lyrics

"Aunt Rhody"

Go tell Aunt Rhody
Go tell Aunt Rhody
Go tell Aunt Rhody
That her old gray goose is dead

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

She died in the mill pond
She died in the mill pond
She died in the mill pond
Standing on her head

The goslings are crying
The goslings are crying
The goslings are crying
'Cause their mother's dead

Go tell Aunt Rhody
Go tell Aunt Rhody
Go tell Aunt Rhody
That her old gray goose is dead
