Last Monday morning, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd
Preacher went a hunting, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd
He took along a shotgun, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd
He was hunting for the
Grey goose, Lawd, Lawd, lawd
Grey goose came a-flying, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd
He was way high a-flying, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd

Well, he pulled that trigger
Way back, Lawd, Lawd, lawd
The hammer went click-clack, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd
The grey goose came a-falling, Lawd, Lawd
Lawd
Then they put him on the wagon, Lawd, Lawd
Lawd and took him to the de
White house, Lawd, Lawd, lawd
Then your wife and my wife, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd
They had a feather picking, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd
He was six weeks a-picking, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd

Then they put him on to parboil, Lawd, Lawd
Lawd
He was six months a parboiling, Lawd, Lawd
Lawd
Then they put him on the table, Lawd, Lawd
Lawd and the knife wouldn't stick
Him, Lawd, Lawd, lawd
And the fork wouldn't prick him, Lawd, Lawd
Lawd so they throw'd him out to
The hog pen, Lawd, Lawd, lawd

And he broke old Gerry's
Jaw-bone, Lawd, Lawd, lawd
So they throw'd him to
The saw-mill, Lawd, Lawd, lawd
He broke that saw's teeth out, Lawd, Lawd
Lawd
The last time I saw him, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd
He was flying across the ocean, Lawd, Lawd
Lawd
With a long string of goslins, Lawd, Lawd
Lawd
And they all went quink-quanck, Lawd, Lawd
Lawd
