[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
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
A-standing on her head

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

[JOHN LANGSTAFF, CHILDREN]
So, go and tell aunt Nancy
Go and tell aunt Nancy
Go and tell aunt Nancy
The old grey goose is dead

[JOHN LANGSTAFF]
Bye bye, baby
Baby, bye
My little baby
Baby, bye

Bye bye, baby
Baby, bye
My little baby
Baby, bye
