Portrait
OF
MOTHER HUBBARD.
From an Original Painting.
Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the Cupboard,
To give the poor Dog a bone.
When she came there,
The Cupboard was bare,
And so the poor Dog had none.

She went to the Baker's
To buy him some bread;
When she came back
The Dog was dead!

When she came back

She went to the Undertaker's
To buy him a Coffin;
When she came back
The Dog was laughing.

She took a clean dish
To get him some tripe;
When she came back
He was smoking his pipe.
