Go, tell aunt Rhody
The old grey goose is dead
Grandpa found her dying
In the millpond on her head
The Gander won't eat now
Gander won't eat now
Because his wife is dead
Let's pray for the babies
Pray for the babies
Because their mama's dead
Somebody go, tell aunt Rhody
Go, tell aunt Rhody
The old grey goose is dead
Somebody go tell aunt Rhody
I want you to go tell aunt Rhody
Go, tell aunt Rhody
Tell her that the old grey goose is dead
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
