Old Mother Hubbard - The Jamborees

Old mother hubbard

Went to the cupboard

To give 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

But when she came back

The poor dog was dead

She went to the shops

To buy him a coffin

But when she came back

The poor dog was laughing

She took a clean dish

To get him some tripe

But when she came back

He was smoking a pipe

She went to the market

To buy him some fish

But when she came back

He was licking the dish

She went to the tavern

For white wine and red

But when she came back

The dog stood on his head

She went to the grosser's

To buy him some fruit

But when she came back

He was playing a flute

Old mother hubbard

Went to the cupboard

To give 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 tailor's

To buy him a coat

But when she came back

He was riding a goat

She went to the hatter's

To buy him a hat

But when she came back

He was feeding the cat

She went to the barber's

To buy him a wig

But when she came back

He was dancing a jig

She went to the cobbler's

To buy him some shoes

But when she came back

He was reading the news

She went to the seamstress

To buy him some linen

But when she came back

The dog was spinning

She went to the hosier's

To buy him some hose

But when she came back

He was dressed in his clothes

Old mother hubbard

Went to the cupboard

To get her poor dog a bone

But when she came there

The cupboard was bare

And so the poor dog had none

The dame made a curtsey

The dog made a bow

The dame said your servant

The dog said bow wow
