Original text and translations

English text

G double O S E Y spells Goosey, spells Goosey,
G A N D E R spells Gander, spells Gander;

Goosey Gander, where shall I wander?
Upstairs and downstairs, and in my lady’s chamber;
And there I met an old man who would not say his prayers,
I took him by the left leg and threw him downstairs.
