My Bucket's Got A Hole In It

"My Bucket's Got A Hole In It
Yea! My Bucket's Got A Hole In It
Yea! My Bucket's Got A Hole In It
I can't buy no beer.

Well, I went upon the mountain - I looked down in the sea
I seen the crabs and the fishes - Doin' the be-bop-bee."



Any other Hank Williams fans out there?

That's a merciless earworm.

There'll never be another Hank. :thumbsup:

I just wanted to talk about Hank. And buckets with holes.

Say, if I were Orthodox, do you thing a bucket with a hole in it could substitute for a sheet with a hole in it? I'm interested in guilt free handjobs from strangers.

If you know what I'm sayin'...

But I'm certain it's perverse and blasphemous.

There's a hole in my bucket dear liza dear liza
There's a hole in my bucket dear liza a hole.

Then mend it dear henry dear henry
Then mend it dear henry mend it.

With what shall i mend it
With a straw
The straw is too long
Then cut it
With what shall i cut it
With a knife
The knife is too blunt
Then sharpen it
With what shall i sharpen it
With a stone
The stone is too dry
Then wet it
With what shall i wet it
With some water
With what shall i fetch it
With a bucket

I saw and heard Belafonte and his lady partner do that song at a concert in the early sixties. The audience had a great time.

I'm headin' down the long lost higheway, may you never be alone like me.
Your cold, cold crazy cheatin' heart, gave me the lovesick blues.
I can't help it if you win again, you know I still want you.

I'd like to turn back the years when we heard the weddin' bells chime.
When I was howlin' at the moon and your cheatin' heart was mine.

Our mansion on the hill is a house without love. Why don't you love me like you used to do?
YOu're gonna change or I'm gonna leave but I could never be ashamed of you.

I hear that lovesome whistle blowin'. Never again will I knock on yur door. I'm so sorry for you my friend, but why should be try anymore?

Chorus: Jambalyaay and old Kaw Liga, go on and set the woods on fire.
From now one you be moanin' the blues. I'm a lo-o-o-ng gaw-awhn daddy now.

Lefty Frizzell had a hit on this in the early or mid-50s. I think Tommy Collins may have written it, I'm not sure. Someone had a song called Buck's Tune made up of titles of Buck Owens songs. :thumbsup: :hi:

If the wife and I are fussin', brother that's our right,
'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight.

Why don't you mind your own business
(Mind your own business)
'Cause if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing,
She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring.

Why don't you mind your own business
(Mind your own business)
Well, if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

I got a little gal that wears her hair up high,
the boys all whistle when she walks by.

Why don't you mind your own buisness
(Mind your own business)
Well, if you mind your own business, you sure won't be minding mine.

If I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three,
Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me.

Just mind your own business
(Mind your own business)
If you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned,
I got all that I can do just to mind my own.

Why don't you mind your own business
(Mind your own business)
If you mind your own business, you'll stay busy all the time.

Best Hank Williams song ever.

And it's totally identical to "Move it on Over." Which I don't even mind.

Thanks for reminding me! It's time to strap on the headphones and blast "Thing With a Hook."

And that's okay. :thumbsup:

Pretty good. I like Hank Williams III too. Great stuff.

You wouldn't want the contents of your bucket to spill out all over the place, would you?
