Ol' Man Mose Songtext
von Connie Francis

One time, there lived an old man with a funny crooked nose
He lived inside of a log hut, and they called him Ol′ man Mose
One dark and dreary morning, I knocked upon his door
I did not hear a single sound, I ain't gonna hear it no more

′Cause I believe Ol' man, I believe Ol' man
I believe Ol′ man, Ol′ man Mose is dead
Don't you know I believe Mose kicked the bucket?
Yeah, man, the bu-bu-bucket
I believe Mose kicked the bucket, but Ol′ man Mose is dead

I went round to the window, and I peeped into a crack
Inside, there was some old gent, laying flat upon his back
I thought that he was napping, his hand hung to the floor
Did not make a single sound, he ain't gonna make it no more

′Cause I found out Ol' man
I found out Ol′ man
I found out Ol' man
Ol' man Mose is dead


A-hear me now, I believe Mose kicked the bucket
Yeah, man, the bu-bu-bucket
I believe Mose kicked that bucket
But Ol′ man Mose is dead

One time there lived an old man with a funny crooked nose
He lived inside a log hut, and they called him Ol′ man Mose
One dark and dreary evening, I knocked upon his door
I did not hear one single sound, I ain't gonna hear it no more

′Cause I believe Ol' man
I believe Ol′ man
I believe Ol' man
Ol′ man Mose is dead

Don't you know I believe Mose kicked that bucket?
Yeah, man, the bu-bu-bucket
I believe Mose kicked that bucket
But Ol' man Mose is dead

Tell ya needin′ now, I believe Mose kicked that bucket
Yeah, man, the bu-bu-bucket
I believe Mose kicked that bucket
And Ol′ man Mose is dead
So long, Mr. Mose
