Go tell Aunt Rody go tell Aunt Rody

Go tell Aunt Rody the old grey goose is dead



Grandpa found her dying grandpa found her dying

Grandpa found her dying in the millpond on her head

The gander won't eat now gander won't eat now

Gander won't eat now because his wife is dead

Somebody go tell Aunt Rhody go tell Aunt Rody

Go tell Aunt Rhody that the old grey goose is dead

[ fiddle - banjo ]

Let's pray for the babies pray for the babies

Pray for the babies because their mama's dead

Somebody go tell Aunt Rhody...

[ fiddle ]

Lord now go tell Aunt Rhody children go tell Aunt Rhody

Want you to go tell Aunt Rhody tell her that the old grey goose is dead

Everybody go tell Aunt Rhody now now go tell Aunt Rhody

Now now go tell Aunt Rhody

Go tell Aunt Rhody tell her that the old grey goose is dead
