Pete Seeger

Peter "Pete" Seeger (born May 3, 1919) is an iconic American folk singer. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of The Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of The Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, and environmental causes. more »

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly
But I don't know why she swallowed a fly
I guess she'll die

I know an old lady who swallowed a spider
It riggled and jiggled and tiggled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly
I guess she'll die

I know an old lady who swallowed a bird
How absurd to swallow a bird
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That riggled and jiggled and tiggled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly
I guess she'll die

I know an old lady who swallowed a cat
Imagine that, she swallowed a cat
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That riggled and jiggled and tiggled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly
I guess she'll die

I know an old lady who swallowed a dog
Oh, she was a hog to swallow a 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 riggled and jiggled and tiggled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly
I guess she'll die

I know an old lady who swallowed a goat
Just opened her throat and swallowed a 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 riggled and jiggled and tiggled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly
I guess she'll die

I know an old lady who swallowed a cow
I don't know how, but she swallowed a cow
She swallowed a 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
Swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That riggled and jiggled and tiggled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed that fly
I guess she'll die

I know an old lady who swallowed a horse
She's dead of course
