Go Tell Aunt Rhody
Go tell Aunt Rhody, the old gray goose is dead.
The one she’s been saving, to make a feather bed.
She died in the millpond, standing on her head.
The goslings are crying, because their mother's dead.
Kate Long sings and plays the American folk song, "Go Tell Aunt Rhody." Art work by Louise."I decided to play this song true to the 1950's Burl Ives version. I like how he alternated between major and minor chords on the verses, really highlighting how strange and somewhat dark the lyrics are."
