Lyrics:


Ole Uncle Peter, he got tight,
Started up to Heaven on a stormy night
The road be rough an' him not well
He lost his way an' he went to ...
Chorus:
    Hop along Peter, where ya goin'?
    Hop along Peter, where ya goin'?
    Hop along Peter, won't you bear in mind,
    I ain't comin' back till it's gooseberry time.

Ole Mother Hubbard an' 'er dog were Dutch.
Bowlegged Rooster wobbled on a crutch.
Hen chewed tobacco an' the duck drank wine.
The goose played a fiddle on a pumpkin vine.
Chorus
Now, down in the barnyard playin' seven-up,
Ole tom cat an' the little yella pups.
Ole Mother Hubbard, she's a pickin' out the fleas.
The Rooster in the cream jar up to his knees.
Chorus

I gotta a gal in this here town,
She weighs an' ounce, she weighs seven hundred pounds.
Every time my pretty gal turns around
Heel of 'er shoe makes a hole in the ground.
Chorus
