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 poor Dog was laughing.
She took a clean dish
To get him some tripe,
But when she came back,
He was smoking a pipe.
She went to the ale-house
To get him some beer,
But when she came back,
The Dog sat in a chair.
She went to the tavern
For white wine and red,
But when she came back,
The Dog stood on his head.
