14 Nov 06 - 12:41 AM (#1885275) Subject: Lyr Add: HOP ALONG PETER (Fisher Hendley) From: Peace HOP ALONG PETER From Old Time String Band Songbook. From Fisher Hendley and his Aristocratic Pigs. Key of G. Recorded by Highwoods String Band. 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 went to… 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 coming back till the gooseberry time. Old Mother Hubbard and her dog were Dutch A bow legged rooster and hobbled on a crutch Hen chawed tobacco and the duck drank wine The goose played the fiddle on the pumpkin vine. CHORUS Down in the barnyard playing seven-up The old tom cat and the little yellow pup The old Mother Hubbard, she's a-picking out the fleas The rooster in the cream jar up to his knees. CHORUS I've got a sweet gal this here town If she weighs an ounce, she weighs seven hundred Every time my sweet girl turns once around The heel of her shoe makes a hole in the ground. CHORUS The above is from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/old-time-music/old-time-songs/old-time-songs-H.htm |

I think the words are much the same as in the version written out by by Peace. I'll dig the album out and check. |
