Let’s read together: Old Mother Hubbard

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard,
To get her poor dog a bone;
But when she got there
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.

She went to the baker’s
To buy him some bread;
But when she came back
The poor dog was dead.

She went to the joiner’s
To buy him a coffin;
But when she came back
The dog he was laughing.

She took a clean dish
To get him some tripe;
But when she came back
He was smoking his pipe.

She went to the alehouse
To get him some beer;
But when she came back
The dog sat in a chair.

She went to the fishmoneer’s
To buy him some fish
And when she came back
He was licking the dish.

She went to the tavern
For white wine and red;
But when she came back
The dog stood on his head.

She went to the tailor’s
To buy him a coat;
But when she came back
He was riding a goat.

She went to the hatter’s
To buy him a hat;
But when she came back
He was feeding the cat.

She went to the barber’s
To buy him a wig;
But when she came back
He was dancing a jig.

She went to the fruiterer’s
To buy him some fruit;
But when she came back
He was playing the flute.

She went to the sempster’s
To buy him some linen;
But when she came back
The dog he was spinning.

She went to the cobbler’s
To buy him some shoes;
But when she came back
He was reading the news.

She went to the hosier’s
To buy him some hose;
But when she came back
He was dressed in his clothes.

The dame made a curtsy,
The dog made a bow;
The dame said,”Your servant”,
The dog said, “Bow-wow”.
