This song is available on Jack Hartmann's Rhymin' to the Beat, Volume 2.

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly
I don’t know why she swallowed a fly
Oh, my, my!!

I know an old lady who swallowed a spider
That giggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed a spider to catch a fly
But I don’t know why she swallowed the fly
Oh my, my!!

I know an old woman who swallowed a cat
Now fancy that, to swallow a cat!
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don’t know why she swallowed the fly
Oh my, my!

I know an old lady who swallowed a dog...

I know an old lady who swallowed a cow...

I know an old lady who swallowed a horse
And that’s the last thing she swallowed, of course!
