There's a Hole in my Bucket (feat. Eugene Friesen)

There's a hole in my bucket, dear Kavi, dear Kavi
There's a hole in my bucket, dear Kavi, a hole

Then mend it, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu
Then mend it, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, mend it

With what shall I mend it, dear Kavi, dear Kavi?
With what shall I mend it, dear Kavi, with what?

With some straw, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu
Some straw, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, some straw

If that straw be too long, dear Kavi, dear Kavi
If that straw be too long, dear Kavi, too long

Then cut it, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu
Then cut it, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, cut it

With what shall I cut it, dear Kavi, dear Kavi?
With what shall I cut it, dear Kavi, with what?

With a knife, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu
A knife, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, a knife

If that knife be too blunt, dear Kavi, dear Kavi
If that knife be too blunt, dear Kavi, too blunt

Then sharpen it, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu
Then sharpen it, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, sharpen it

With what shall I sharpen it, dear Kavi, dear Kavi?
With what shall I sharpen it, dear Kavi, with what?

With a stone, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu
A stone, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, a stone

If the stone be too dry, dear Kavi, dear Kavi
If that stone be too dry, dear Kavi, too dry

Then wet it, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu
Then wet it, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, wet it

With what shall I wet it, dear Kavi, dear Kavi?
With what shall I wet it, dear Kavi, with what?

With some water, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu
Some water, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, water

With what shall I fetch it, dear Kavi, dear Kavi?
With what shall I fetch it, dear Kavi, with what?

With a bucket, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu
A bucket, dear Jahnu, dear Jahnu, a bucket

But there's that hole in my bucket, dear Kavi, dear Kavi
There's that hole in my bucket, dear Kavi, a hole
