Old Mother Hubbard Natalie Merchant

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To give the poor dog a bone;
When she came there
The cupboard was bare
And so the poor dog had none

She went to the baker's
To buy him some bread;
When she came back
The dog was dead!

She went to the undertaker's
To buy him a coffin;
When she came back
The dog was laughing

She took a clean dish
To get him some tripe;
When she came back
He was smoking his pipe

She went to the alehouse
To get him some beer;
When she came back
The dog sat in a chair
