One sunny morning The preacher went a'hunting He carried along his shotgun And along came a grey goose Gun went a'boom-boom And down come the grey goose Six weeks of falling He was six weeks a'hauling
Then my wife and your wife Him a'feather picking He was six weeks a'pickin' Then they put him on the parboil He was six weeks a'boilin' And they put him on the table The knife wouldn't cut him No the knife wouldn't cut him
No the knife wouldn't cut him So they took him to the hog pen But the hog couldn't eat him No the hog wouldn't eat him So they took him to the saw mill But the saw couldn't eat him And the last time I saw him He was flying across the ocean
Yeah the last time I saw him He was flying across the ocean With a long string a'goslin' And they're all going quack-quack Yeah they're all going quack-quack And they're all going quack-quack And he broke the hog's teeth out And he broke the hog's teeth out And he broke the saw's teeth out And he broke the saw's teeth out
And the last time I saw him He was flying across the ocean Flying across the ocean With a long string a'goslin' And they're all going quack-quack Yeah they're all going quack-quack
