Go tell Aunt Rhodie,
Go tell Aunt Rhodie,
Go tell Aunt Rhodie
Her old gray goose is dead.

The one she`s been saving,
The one she`s been saving,
The one she`s been saving
To start her feather bed.

She died last Friday,
She died last Friday,
She died last Friday
A-standing on her head.

The goslings are weeping,
The goslings are weeping,
The goslings are weeping,
Because their mother`s dead.

The gander is mourning,
The gander is mourning,
The gander is mourning,
Because his wife is dead.
