SONG: Goosey Goosey Gander HISTORY: (Wikipedia) "Some have suggested that this rhyme refers to priest holes—hiding places for itinerant Catholic priests during the persecutions under King Henry VIII and later under Oliver Cromwell. Once discovered the priest would be forcibly taken from the house('thrown down the stairs') and treated badly." LYRICS: See Wikipedia for additional lyrics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goosey_Goosey_Gander illustrates the lyrics, which contain some violence that may not be appropriate for small children. [Verse 1]
C
[tab]F               C
Whither shall I wander?

Dm           C
Upstairs and downstairs

    G            C
And in my lady's chamber.
[Verse 2]
C
Goosey goosey gander,

F               C
Whither shall I wander?

Dm           C
Upstairs and downstairs

    G            C
And in my lady's chamber.
[Verse 3]
C
There I met an old man

    F                C
Who wouldn't say his prayers,

     Dm              C
So I took him by his left leg

    G                  C
And threw him down the stairs.
[Verse 4]
C
There I met an old man

    F                C
Who wouldn't say his prayers,

     Dm              C
So I took him by his left leg

    G                  C
And threw him down the stairs.
