[Verse 1]
[C]There was an old woman
who swallowed a fly;
I [F]don't know [G]why she swallowed
a fly - Perhaps she'll [C]die
There was an old woman who
swallowed a spider
That [F]wriggled and jiggled
and [G]tickled inside her!
She [C]swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I [F]don't know why she [G]swallowed
a fly - Perhaps she'll [C]die![G]
[C]There

[Verse 2]
was an old woman who
swallowed a [F]bird;
How absurd to [G]swallow a bird!
She [C]swallowed the bird
to catch the spider
That [F]wriggled and jiggled
and [G]tickled inside her!
She [C]swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I [F]don't know why she [G]swallowed
a fly - Perhaps she'll [C]die![G]
[C]There

[Verse 3]
was an old woman who
swallowed a cat;
[F]Imagine that! She [G]swallowed a cat!
She [C]swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird
to catch the spider
That [F]wriggled and jiggled and
[G]tickled inside her!
She swal[C]lowed the spider to catch the fly;
I [F]don't know why she [G]swallowed
a fly - Perhaps she'll [C]die!

[Verse 4]
There [C]was an old woman that
swallowed a [F]dog;
What a hog, to [G]swallow a dog!
She [C]swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to
catch the spider
[F]That wriggled and jiggled
and [G]tickled inside her!
She [C]swallowed the spider
to catch the [F]fly;
I don't know why she [G]swallowed
a fly - Perhaps she'll [C]die!

[Verse 5]
There [C]was an old woman who
swallowed a goat;
She just [F]opened her throat
and [G]swallowed a goat!
She [C]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 [F]wriggled and jiggled
and [G]tickled inside her!
She [C]swallowed the spider
to catch the [F]fly;
I don't know why she [G]swallowed
a fly - Perhaps she'll [C]die!

[Verse 6]
There [C]was an old woman
who swallowed a cow;
I [F]don't know how she [G]swallowed a cow!
She [C]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 [F]wriggled and jiggled and
[G]tickled inside her!
She swal[C]lowed the spider
to catch the [F]fly;
I don't know why she [G]swallowed
a fly - Perhaps [C]she’ll die!
There was an old woman
who swallowed a horse
[F]Uh [G]Oh...She's dead, of cou[C]rse!
