Song Lyrics

Last monday morning
Lord lord lord
Well last monday morning
Lord lord lord

Well my daddy went hunting
Lord lord lord
He was hunting for the grey goose
Lord lord lord

And he went to the big wood
Lord lord lord
And that hound doggy went too
Lord lord lord

Well along come the grey goose
Lord lord lord
He was a hell of a grey goose
Lord lord lord

Listen to him holler

Popped to his shoulder
Lord lord lord
And that shotgun went boom
Lord lord lord

And down come the grey goose
Lord lord lord
He was a mighty big grey goose
Lord lord lord

Took an ox team to haul him
Lord lord lord
It took an ox team to haul him
Lord lord lord

Then your wife and my wife
Lord lord lord
Well they got to feather pickin'
Lord lord lord

Took six weeks to pick him
Lord lord lord
It took six weeks to pick him
Lord lord lord

Listen to them picking that grey goose

Then they put him on to pot boil
Lord lord lord
Then they put him on to pot boil
Lord lord lord

It took ten days to pot boil
Lord lord lord
It took ten days to pot boil
Lord lord lord

Then they put him on the table
Lord lord lord
Then they put him on the table
Lord lord lord

And the fork couldn't stick him
Lord lord lord
And the knife couldn't prick him
Lord lord lord

So they threw him in the hog pen
Lord lord lord
And he broke the old sows jawbone
Lord lord lord

And they took him to the saw mill
Lord lord lord
And he bust that saw's teeth out
Lord lord lord

Well the last time I seen him
Lord lord lord
He was flying across the ocean
Lord lord lord

He has a long string of goslin's
Lord lord lord
He had a long string of goslin's
Lord lord lord

And they all went quick quack
Lord lord lord
And they all went quick quack
Lord lord lord

He was a hell of a grey goose
Lord lord lord
He was a hell of a grey goose
Lord lord lord

Now bye bye grey goose
Lord lord lorde
Bye bye grey goose
Lord lord lord
