My Bucket's Got a Hole in It

(Clarence Williams)



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

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 went up on a mountain

I looked down in the sea

I seen the crabs and the fishes

Doin' the be-bop-bee.



'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.



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

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, me and my baby

We bought a Ford

And now we sit together

On the running board.



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...
