    [Old Mother Hubbard\

    Old Mother Hubbard


    Went to the cupboard
    To get her poor dog a bone;
    But when she got there,
    The cupboard was bare,
    And so the poor dog had none.

    She went to the baker’s


    To buy him some bread;
    And when she came back,
    The poor dog was dead.

    She went to the joiner’s


    To buy him a coffin;
    And when she came back,
    The doggy was laughin’.

    She went to the butcher’s


    To buy him some tripe;
    And when she came back,
    He was smoking his pipe.

    She went to the hatter’s


    To buy him a hat;
    And when she came back,
    He was feeding the cat.

    She went to the barber’s


    To buy him a wig;
    And when she came back,
    He was dancing a jig.

    She went to the tailor’s


    To buy him a coat;
    And when she came back,
    He was riding a goat.

    She went to the cobbler’s


    To buy him some shoes;
    And when she came back,
    He was reading the news.
