[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm standin' on a corner
With a bucket in my hand
I'm waitin' for a woman
That ain't got no man

[Chorus]
'Cause 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

[Verse 2]
Well, I went up on the mountain
I looked down in the sea
I seen the crabs and the fishes
Doin' the be-bop-bee

[Chorus]
'Cause 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
[Verse 3]
Well, there ain't no use
Of me workin' so hard
When I got a woman
In the boss man's yard

[Chorus]
'Cause 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

[Verse 4]
Well, me and my baby
We just bought a Ford
And now we sit together
On the running board

[Chorus]
'Cause 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
