I believe it is "Go Tell Aunt Rhody". It's popular among Suzuki flute students and young music learners.

We used to sing this at my junior school 50 years ago.

It was called - Go And Tell Aunt Nancy
It went like this..........

Go and tell Aunt Nancy,
Go and tell Aunt Nancy,
Go and tell Aunt Nancy
The old grey goose is dead.

She died last Friday
She died last Friday
She died last Friday
Behind the old school shed.

She left 9 little goslings
She left 9 little goslings
She left 9 little goslings
To scratch for their own bread.

Pete
