 From the Country Tale to a Shaggy Dog Tail, I had forgotten this one. Old Mother Hubbard
Old Mother
Hubbard 
Old Mother
Hubbard went to the cupboard
To get her poor doggie a
bone,
But when she got there, the
cupboard was bare,
And the poor little doggie had none.
She went
to the baker's to buy him some bread,
But when she came back, the poor doggie was
dead.
She went to the joiner's, to buy him a
coffin,
But when she came back, the poor doggie was
laughin'.
She took a clean dish, to get him
some tripe,
But when she came back, he was
smoking a pipe.
She went to the alehouse, to get him some
beer,
But when she came back, he was sat in her
chair.
She went to the tavern, for
wine white and red,
But when she came back, doggie
stood
on his head.
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 fruiterer's, to buy him
some fruit,
But when she came back , he was playing the
flute.
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
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 doggie was
spinning.
She went to the hosier's, to buy him some
hose,
But when she came back he was dressed in
his clothes.
 The dame made a curtsy. The dog
made a bow,
The dame said, "Your servant,"
The dog said,
"Bow-wow."
