Well, my bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Standing on a corner
Got my bucket in my hand
Looking for a woman
That ain't got no man

Well oh, my bucket's got a hole in it
Well oh, my bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

I hear you knocking but you can't come here
I hear you knocking but you can't come here
I hear you knocking but you can't come here
You can't have no more

Well, I went up on the highest mountain
Oh, I went down to the deep blue sea
And I asked all the folks and the fishes in it
To hear my thirsty plea

Yeah, bucket's got a hole in it
The bucket's got a hole in it
Bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer
