Ol' Man Mose
Once there lived an old man
With a funny crooked nose
He lived out in a log house
And they called him ol' man Mose
It was dark and dreary morning, I knocked upon his door
But I didn't hear a single sound
I ain't gonna do it no more
'Cause I believe, (old man), I do believe, (old man)
I sure believe, (old man), that old man Mose is dead
Oh, I believe, (old man), I do believe, (old man)
I sure believe, (old man), that old man Mose is dead
Now, (We believe) Mose kicked the bucket
Yeah, man, buck, buck, bucket
(We believe) Mose kicked the bucket
And old man Mose is dead
Oh, buddy, (We believe)
Kicked the buck, buck, bucket
(We believe), Mose kicked the bucket
And old man Mose is dead
I looked around the window
And I peeked in through a crack
Inside there was that funny, old man
Layin' flat upon his back
Now, I knew he was sleeping
For his hands hung to the floor
He didn't make a single sound
And I ain't gonna do it no more
'Cause I found out, (old man)
I sure found out, (old man)
I truly found out, (old man)
That old man Mose is dead
Oh, I found out, (old man)
Yes, I found out, (old man)
I sure found out, (old man)
That old man Mose is dead
(We found out), Mose kicked the bucket
Yeah, man, buck, buck, bucket
(We found out), Mose kicked the bucket
And old man Mose is dead
(We found out), Oh, buddy, (We found out)
Kicked the buck, buck, bucket
(We found out), Mose kicked the bucket
And old man Mose is dead
Now, I found out Mose kicked the bucket
I sure believe he kicked the bucket
I believe, Mose kicked the bucket
And old man Mose is dead
I found out
Yes, I found out
Now, I found out Mose kicked the bucket
And old man Mose is dead
With a funny crooked nose
He lived out in a log house
And they called him ol' man Mose
It was dark and dreary morning, I knocked upon his door
But I didn't hear a single sound
I ain't gonna do it no more
'Cause I believe, (old man), I do believe, (old man)
I sure believe, (old man), that old man Mose is dead
Oh, I believe, (old man), I do believe, (old man)
I sure believe, (old man), that old man Mose is dead
Now, (We believe) Mose kicked the bucket
Yeah, man, buck, buck, bucket
(We believe) Mose kicked the bucket
And old man Mose is dead
Oh, buddy, (We believe)
Kicked the buck, buck, bucket
(We believe), Mose kicked the bucket
And old man Mose is dead
I looked around the window
And I peeked in through a crack
Inside there was that funny, old man
Layin' flat upon his back
Now, I knew he was sleeping
For his hands hung to the floor
He didn't make a single sound
And I ain't gonna do it no more
'Cause I found out, (old man)
I sure found out, (old man)
I truly found out, (old man)
That old man Mose is dead
Oh, I found out, (old man)
Yes, I found out, (old man)
I sure found out, (old man)
That old man Mose is dead
(We found out), Mose kicked the bucket
Yeah, man, buck, buck, bucket
(We found out), Mose kicked the bucket
And old man Mose is dead
(We found out), Oh, buddy, (We found out)
Kicked the buck, buck, bucket
(We found out), Mose kicked the bucket
And old man Mose is dead
Now, I found out Mose kicked the bucket
I sure believe he kicked the bucket
I believe, Mose kicked the bucket
And old man Mose is dead
I found out
Yes, I found out
Now, I found out Mose kicked the bucket
And old man Mose is dead
