Leadbelly - Gray Goose Lyrics
Well, las' Monday mornin', Lawd, Lawd, Lawd,Well, las' Monday mornin', Lawd, Lawd, LawdMy daddy went a-huntin'Well, he carried along his zulu1Well, along come a grey gooseWell, he throwed it to his shoulder,an' he ram his hammer' way backWell, he pulled on de triggerWell, down he come a-windin'He was six weeks a-fallin'He was six weeks a-findin'An' he put him on de wagon,An'he taken him to de white houseHe was six weeks a-pickin'Lordy, your wife an'my wife,Oh, they give a feather pickin'An' they put him on to parboil2He was six months a-parboil',An' they put him on de table,Now, de fork couldn' stick him,An' de knife couldn't cut himAn' they throwed him in de hog-pen,An' he broke de ol'sow's jawboneAn' they taken him to de sawmill,An' he broke de saw's teeth outAn' de las' time I seed him,Well, he's flyin' across de ocean,Wid a long string o' goslin's,An' they all goin': quank quink-quank
