Yeah my bucket's got a hole in it yeah my bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah my bucket's got a hole in it I can't buy no beer

Well I'm standing on the corner with a bucket in my hand
I'm a waitin' for a woman that ain't got no man

Cause my bucket's got a hole in it...

Well I went upon a mountain I went down in the sea
I seen the crabs and the fishes doing the bebop bee

Cause my bucket's got a hole in it...
[ ac.guitar ]
Well it ain't no use for me working so hard
When I got a woman in the bossman's yard

Cause my bucket's got a hole in it...
[ steel - guitar ]
Yeah my bucket's got a hole in it...
