One time there lived an old man
 With a very crooked nose
 He lived inside 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.

 'cos 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
Yea man the buck buck bucket
I believe Mose kicked the bucket
Ol' man Mose is dead.

 I went round to the window
 And I peeked in through the crack,
 Inside there was an old man
 Laying flat upon his back
 I thought that he was napping
 Head hung to the floor
 He didn't make a single move
 So I ain't gonna do it no more

 'cos I found out ol' man, I found out ol' man
 yeah, I found out ol' man, ol' man Mose is dead

 ('cos you found out) ol' man
 (you found out) ol' man
 (you found out) ol' man
 (you found out he's dead)

 (you found out) Mose kicked the bucket
 (you found out) Mose kicked the bucket
 (you found out) Mose kicked the bucket
 (you found out he's dead)

 (you found out) Mose kicked the bucket
 (you found out) Mose kicked the bucket
 (you found out) Mose kickin' up daisies
 (you found out he's dead)

 Old Man Mose is dead.
