My Father used to sing this song all the time but his version was alittle different.

it went

CHORUS:
Hop along, Peter, where you going?
Hop along, Peter, where you going?
Hop along, Peter, won't you bear in mind
I ain 't comin' back till the gooseberry time.

Old mother Hubbard and her dog were Dutch,
Had a bow-legged rooster and he hobbled on a crutch.
Hen chewed tobacco and the duck drank wine;
The goose played the fiddle on the pumpkin vine.
chorus
Down in the barnyard playing seven-up,
was the old tom cat and the little leopard pup,
Mother Hubbard, she's a-pickin' out the fleas,
Rooster in the cream jar up to his knees.
chorus
O I got a woman and a bulldog too,
The woman don't love me but the bulldog do.
I had a dog name was jack,
put him in the barn and he peed out a crack.
Chorus
Old Uncle Peter, he got tight,
Started up to heaven on a stormy night.
The road being rough and him not well,
He lost his way and he went... to.....
HEAVEN...   HEAVEN...   HEAVEN
