Mother Hubbard's Dog
Children's Nursery Rhyme Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Laura Freeman

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor dog a bone
When she got there the cupboard was bare
And so her poor dog had none
Poor dog had none
Poor dog had none
When she got there the cupboard was bare
And so her poor dog had none

Well Old Mother Hubbard got to thinking
and then remembered she’d hidden a bone
in the pantry for just such emergencies so

Old Mother Hubbard went to the pantry
To get her poor dog a bone
When she got there she pulled out the spare
And so her poor dog had one
Poor dog had one
Poor dog had one
When she got there she pulled out the spare
And so her poor dog had one

Well old Mother Hubbard figgered she better go shopping
so she wouldn’t have that little problem SO

The very next day Mother Hubbard stepped out
And to the market she went
Bones were on sale so what do you know?
Every penny she had she spent
She got big bones and small bones buckets
of dog bones and lugged ‘em all home
And when she got there she had
two thousand pounds of bones
And so her poor dog had a ton
Poor dog had a ton
Poor dog had a ton
When she got there she had two thousand pounds
of bones and so her poor dog had a ton

Well about a year and a half later
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard
to get her poor dog a bone
When she got there the cupboard was bare
and so her poor dog had none
