Hopalong Peter
Not For Kids Only
(Traditional)
DOld Uncle Peter, he got tight
Started up to heaven one Astormy night
The Droad being rough and Ghim not well
He Alost, his way and he went to ...
Chorus:
DHopalong Peter where you goin'?
Hopalong Peter where you Agoin'?
DHopalong Peter won't you Gbear in mind
I Aain't comin' back 'til the gooseberry Dtime.
Old mother Hubbard and her dog were dutch
A bow-legged rooster and he hobbled on a crutch
The hen chewed tobacca and the duck drank wine
The goose played the fiddle on the pumpkin vine.
Chorus:
Down in the barn yard playin' seven up
The old tom cat 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.
Chorus:
I've got a sweet gal in this old town
If she weighs an ounce she weighs 700 pounds
Every time my sweet gal turns once around
The heels of her shoe make a hole in the, ground.
Chorus:

Hopalong Peter

Not For Kids Only

(Traditional)

Old Uncle Peter, he got tight

Started up to heaven one stormy night

D G

The road being rough and him not well

He lost, his way and he went to ...

Chorus:

Hopalong Peter where you goin'?

D G

Hopalong Peter won't you bear in mind

A D

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 tobacca and the duck drank wine

The goose played the fiddle on the pumpkin vine.

Chorus:

Down in the barn yard playin' seven up

The old tom cat 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.

Chorus:

I've got a sweet gal in this old town

If she weighs an ounce she weighs 700 pounds

Every time my sweet gal turns once around

The heels of her shoe make a hole in the, ground.

Chorus:
