O ld M other Goose,W hen she wanted to wander,
W ould ride through the air,On a very fine gander.
O L D M O T H E R GOOSE.
Jack found one morning, A s I have been told,
His goose had laid him A n egg o f pure gold.
J ack run to his mother,T h e news for to tell,
She called him a good boy, A n d said it was well.
O L D M O T H E R GOOSE.
J ack sold his gold egg, T o a rogue of a Jew ,
W ho cheated him out o f T h e half of his due.
Then Jack went a courting,A lady so gay,
A s fair as the lily,
A s sweet as the M a y .
O L D M O T H E R GOOSE.
T h e J ew and the Squire Cam e behind his back,
A n d began to belabour Th e sides o f poor Jack.
T hen old M other Goose, That instant came in,
A n d turned her son Jack Into fam’d Harlequin.
O L D M O T H E R GOOSE.
She sent him to m arket,A live goose he bought,
H ere , mother, says he,I t will not go for naught.
J a c k ’s goose and her gander, Grew very fond,
T h e y ’d both eat together O r swim in one pond.
O L D M O T H E R GOOSE .
M other G oose had a house ’ T w as built in a wood,
W h e re an owl at the door f o r a sentinel stood.
This is her son Jack,A plain looking lad,
H e ’ s not very good,N or yet very bad
O L D M O T H E R GOOSE.
She then with her wand,T o u ch ’d the lady so fine,
A n d turned her at once Into sweet Columbine.
T h e gold e g g into the sea W a s thrown then,
W h en an odd fish brought H im the e g g back again.
O L D M O T H E R GOOSE.
The J ew got the goose,W h ich he vow’d he would kill
R esolving at once H is pockets to fill.
J a c k ’s mother came in,A n d caught the goose soon,
A n d mounting its back Flew up to the moon.
