Lyrics
(German folk tune, Traditional lyrics)
1. Oh Old Mother Goose had a house in the wood,
An owl at the door for a sentinel stood.
Refrain
Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la,
Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la.
2. When Old Mother Goose wished to go for a ride,
She rode on a broomstick so far and so wide. Refrain
3. If ever it happened she rode until noon,
She’d stop and have lunch with the man in the moon. Refrain
