The Old Grey Goose
The old grey goose she stole her nest
And laid out in the field
And when the young ones did come forth,
They 'ad no tails nor bills,
They 'ad no tails nor bills,
And when the young ones did come forth,
They 'ad not tails nor bills.

Now one was addled and one was broke,
And they we throwed away,
They young ones could'na clunk nor swim,
They all died that same day.
They all died that same day,
The young ones could'na clunk nor swim,
They all died that same day.

Now them that wasn't addled nor broke,
They didn't knaw what ta do
They didn't even 'ave the sense
To chaw their shells right through.
To chaw their shells right through,
They didn't even 'ave the sense,
To chaw their shells right through.

Next time we'll put 'er in the barn
And tie 'er by the heels,
The young ones then will 'ave a chance
Ta graw their tails and bills
Ta graw their tails and bills
The young ones then will 'ave a chance
Ta graw their tails and bills.
