How Could Red Riding Hood

Transcribed from vocals by Tom Stacks, with Harry Reser's Six Jumping Jacks, recorded 7/9/1926.
From Harry Reser's Six Jumping Jacks, Volume 1, The Old Masters, mb 120.

How could Red Riding Hood
Have been so very good
And still keep the wolf from the door?
Father and mother, she had none,
So where in the world did the money come from?
Please let me ask it,
Who filled her basket?
The storybooks never tell.
They say that she found a wolf in granny's bed,
A big sun bonnet pulled over his head,
But you know and I know what she found instead!
How could Red Riding Hood
Have been so very good
And still keep the wolf from the door?
