Once there lived an ol’ man and he had a very funny nose
He lived there in a little log hut calling ol’ man Mose

Well, I went down to his cabin and I looked [him] through the door
Well, there I saw a little ol’ man lying on the floor
Well, were there he was dead or not, I really don’t know
But one thing that I’m certain know, ain’t gonna there no more
Because I found out, ol’ man all about
Ol’ man, you know I found out
Ol’ man, ol’ man Mose is dead, now
We believe Mo kick'd the bucket
We believe ol’ Mo kick'd the bucket
We believe yeah Mo kick'd the bucket
We believe he’s dead
