D
Old Uncle Peter, he got tight
                         A
Started up to heaven one stormy night
    D                    G
The road being rough and him not well
   A
He lost, his way and he went to ...

Chorus:

D
Hopalong Peter where you goin'?
                         A
Hopalong Peter where you goin'?
D                        G
Hopalong Peter won't you bear in mind
  A                                     D
I ain't comin' back 'til the gooseberry time.

Old mother Hubbard and her dog were dutch
A bow-legged rooster and he hobbled on a crutch
The hen chewed tobacca and the duck drank wine
The goose played the fiddle on the pumpkin vine.

Chorus:

Down in the barn yard playin' seven up
The old tom cat and the little yellow pup
The old mother Hubbard she's a pickin' out the fleas
The rooster in the cream jar up to his knees.

Chorus:

I've got a sweet gal in this old town
If she weighs an ounce she weighs 700 pounds
Every time my sweet gal turns once around
The heels of her shoe make a hole in the, ground.

Chorus:
