Meshell Ndegéocello
Hole In The Bucket
[Chorus 1]
Where's the gold where my luck is?
All dried up, all dried up
Where's the gold where my luck is?
All dried up, tell me where is my gold
[Verse 1]
And it's here that needs mending
Is wasted in its spending
And the fear that came ringing
Near bowed me over to reply
[Chorus 2]
Where's the gold where my luck is?
All dried up, in spite of
Where's the gold where my luck is?
Oh darling, tеll me where is my gold
[Verse 2]
Hеnry, I know
It got so cold they wouldn't leave you alone
(Henry, I know) Henry, I know
They got you ___ to the murderous home
[Chorus 3]
(Where's the gold) Henry, I know
(Where is my gold) Henry, I know
(Where is my gold)
[Verse 3]
I took off running
Already knew that I was free to start again
Emancipation, yeah
A piece of paper didn't do it so I will
Paper or poker
I'll use my face to maybe disguise
I will not do it
It is my choice to choose so I will decide
I will decide
[Chorus 4]
There's a hole in my bucket (Henry, I know)
Dear Liza, dear Liza
There's a hole in my bucket (Henry, I know)
Dear Liza, darling, there is a hole
[Verse 4]
I want to trust him
Talk to him like he was a friend of mine
He didn't notice
He pulled for his and so I pulled for mine
I could have but didn't
Saw the reflection of fear in each other's eyes
We over-reacted
We over-reacted
[Chorus 5]
Where's the gold? Henry, I know
Where is my gold? Henry, I know
Oh, where is my gold?
[Outro]
Into the sunset
Right in the open
Into the sunset
Right in the open
Into the sunset
Right in the open
Into the sunset
Right in the open
