I Know an Old Lady Lesson
I Know An Old Lady
Traditional folk song sung by Burl Ives
I know an old lady who swallowed a fly, 1.
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
I know an old lady who swallowed a spider, 2.
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
I know an old lady who swallowed a bird, 3.
Now how absurd to swallow a bird!
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
I know an old lady who swallowed a cat, 4.
Now fancy that, to swallow a cat!
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
I know an old lady who swallowed a dog, 5.
What a hog, to swallow a dog!
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
I know an old lady who swallowed a goat, 6.
She just opened her throat and swallowed a goat!
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
I know an old lady who swallowed a cow, 7.
I don’t know how she swallowed a cow?!
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat,
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
I know an old lady who swallowed a horse, 8.
She's dead, of course!!
