lyrics

Mother Was A Goose
Timmy Abell

Mother was a goose, babies on the loose
Strike up the fiddle, won't you give us a riddle
What' ya gonna to do, if you're living in a shoe
Rollin' on down the road

Don't start cryin' if you think it's funny
If it starts in a'rainin' it'll end up sunny
One and the same pocketful of change
Rollin' on down the road

Banjo man is a'beatin' on a goat skin
Singin' up a storm all the live-long day
Can't remember if he oughta forget about
Comin' or goin' away

Mouse chased the cat, cheese ate the rat
Strike up the fiddle, won't you sing us a riddle
Cow ate the moon with the dish and the spoon
Rollin' on down the road

Silver little bells, cockle little shells
Strike up the fiddle won't you give us a riddle
Toad went to court'n'froggie's too short to go...
Rollin' on down the road

Chorus

Lookin' like an egg, two funny little legs
Strike up the fiddle won't you give us a riddle
Sittin' on a wall, took a little fall...went
Rollin' on down the road

Candlestick lit......Jack be quick
Strike up the fiddle won't you give us a riddle
Took a little spill with Jill on the hill...went
Rollin' on down the road

Chorus
