The grey goose
Burl ivesThe preacher went a hunting, Lord, Lord, Lord
And he carried along a shotgun, Lord, Lord, Lord
And along came a grey goose, Lord, Lord, Lord
Well he shot down a grey goose, Lord, Lord, Lord
And the gun went a-boom-boom, Lord, Lord, Lord
And down come the grey goose, Lord, Lord, Lord
Took six weeks of falling, Lord, Lord, Lord
And six weeks calling, Lord, Lord, Lord
And they put him on the table, Lord, Lord, Lord
And your wife and my wife, Lord, Lord, Lord
There's time for feather pickin', Lord, Lord, Lord
But the fork wouldn't stick it, Lord, Lord, Lord
And the knife wouldn't cut it, Lord, Lord, Lord
And they put him in the oven, Lord, Lord, Lord
But the oven wouldn't burn him, Lord, Lord, Lord
And they him in the hog pen, Lord, Lord, Lord
But the hog couldn't eat it, Lord, Lord, Lord
And he broke the hogs teeth out, Lord, Lord, Lord
So they threw him in the sawmill, Lord, Lord, Lord
And the sawmill wouldn't cut him, Lord, Lord, Lord
And he broke the saws teeth off, Lord, Lord, Lord
And the last time I seen him, Lord, Lord, Lord
She was flyin' cross the ocean, Lord, Lord, Lord
With a long string o' goslings, Lord, Lord, Lord
And they're all goin' quing, quack, Lord, Lord, Lord.
O pregador foi a caça, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor
E ele continuou ao longo de uma espingarda, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor
E junto veio um ganso cinza, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor
Bem, ele derrubou um ganso cinza, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor
E a arma disparou a-boom-boom, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
E se vir o ganso cinza, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
Foram seis semanas de queda, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
E seis semanas chamando, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
E eles o puseram em cima da mesa, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor
E sua esposa e minha esposa, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor
Há tempo para pena pickin 'Senhor, Senhor, Senhor
Mas o garfo não iria colocá-lo, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
E a faca não corta, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
E colocá-lo no forno, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor
Mas o forno não queimá-lo, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
E ele no chiqueiro, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
Mas o porco não podia comer, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
E ele quebrou os dentes porcos para fora, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor
Então eles jogaram na serraria, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
E a serraria não cortá-lo, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
E ele quebrou os dentes serras fora, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
E a última vez que eu o vi, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
Ela estava voando atravessar o oceano, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
Com uma longa seqüência o 'ganso, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor!
E eles estão todos goin 'quing, quack, Senhor, Senhor, Senhor.
