Go Tell Aunt Dinah
Folk Song
Go an' tell Aunt Dinah,
Go an' tell Aunt Dinah,
Go an' tell Aunt Dinah,
de old grey goose is dead.
Died last Friday, died last Friday,
Died last Friday with a pain
in de back o' her head.
She was savin',
She was savin'
She was savin'
to make a feather bed.
Walkin' round dat green tree,
Walkin' round dat green tree
Walkin' round dat green tree,
de ole grey goose is dead.
The rendition in the recording below was sung by Aunt Mollie McDonald in Alabama in 1939. It was collected by Alan Lomax.
