Well, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Well, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Well, I went upon the mountain
I looked down into sea
I seen the crabs and the fishes
Doin' the be-bop-bee

'Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
You know, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Ah!

Oh, there ain't no use
Of me workin' so hard
I know there ain't no use
Of me workin' so hard
'Cause I got a woman
In the boss man's yard

'Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
You know, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer
