Full Lyrics

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

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

She died in the millpond,
She died in the millpond,
She died in the millpond,
Standing on her head.

The goslings are weeping,
The goslings are weeping,
The goslings are weeping,
Because their mama's dead.
