She went to the Sempstress
To buy him some linen;
When she came back
The Dog was spinning.

She went to the Hosier's

To buy him some hose;

When she came back

He was drest in his clothes.

The Dame made a courtesy,

The Dog made a bow;

The Dame said, Your servant,

The Dog said, Bow-wow.

This wonderful Dog

Was Dame Hubbard's delight,

He could Read, he could Dance,

He could Sing, he could Write;

She gave him rich dainties

Whenever he fed,

And erected this Monument

When he was dead.
