A Book of Nursery Songs and Rhymes/Nursery Songs/LXVIII. THE GOOSE AND GANDER
The goose and the gander walked over the green;
The goose walked bare-footed for fear of being seen;
Not for fear of being seen, but of wetting her toes;
And the man that drinks strong beer hath a jolly red nose.
The blacksmith is black, but his silver is white,
And he sits in the ale-house from morning till night.
Tang-dillo, tang-dillo, tang-dillo, tang-dillo,
And happy is the man that sits under the willow.
