Go and tell aunt Nancy
Go and tell aunt Nancy
Go and tell aunt Nancy
The old grey goose is dead

The one that she'd been saving
The one that she'd been saving
The one that she'd been saving
To make her feather bed

She died last Friday
She died last Friday
She died last Friday
Behind the old barn shed

She left nine little goslings
She left nine little goslings
She left nine little goslings
To scratch for their own bread

Go and tell aunt Nancy
Go and tell aunt Nancy
Go and tell aunt Nancy
The old grey goose is dead
