She went to the sempstress

To buy him some linen,

But when she came back,

The Dog was a-spinning.

She went to the hosier’s

To buy him some hose,

But when she came back,

He was drest in his clothes.

She went to the sempstress

To buy him some linen,

But when she came back,

The Dog was a-spinning.

Smoking and Drinking With Your Dog!

Illustration:  Dog Smoking Pipe.  MOTHER HUBBARD.  Walter Crane’s Picture Books Re-Issue  John Lane  The Bodley Head: London & New York. 1897.

She took a clean dish

To get him some tripe,

But when she came back,

He was smoking a pipe.

She went to the ale-house

To get him some beer,

But when she came back,

The Dog sat in a chair.

Old Mother Hubbard

Went to the cupboard

To get her poor Dog a bone;

But when she came there

The cupboard was bare,

And so the poor Dog had none.
