Old Uncle Peter, he got tight Started up to heaven one stormy night The road being rough and him not well He lost, his way and he went to ... Hopalong Peter where you goin'? Hopalong Peter where you goin'? Hopalong Peter won't you bear in mind I ain't comin' back 'til the gooseberry time Old mother Hubbard and her dog were Dutch A bow-legged rooster and he hobbled on a crutch The hen chewed tobacco and the duck drank wine The goose played the fiddle on the pumpkin vine Hopalong Peter where you goin'? Hopalong Peter where you goin'? Hopalong Peter won't you bear in mind I ain't comin' back 'til the gooseberry time Down in the barn yard playin' seven up The old tomcat and the little yellow pup The old mother Hubbard she's a pickin' out the fleas The rooster in the cream jar up to his knees Hopalong Peter where you goin'? Hopalong Peter where you goin'? Hopalong Peter won't you bear in mind I ain't comin' back 'til the gooseberry time I've got a sweet gal in this old town If she weighs an ounce she weighs seven hundred pounds Every time my sweet gal turns once around The heels of her shoe makes a hole in the ground Hopalong Peter where you goin'? Hopalong Peter where you goin'? Hopalong Peter won't you bear in mind I ain't comin' back 'til the gooseberry time
