Couplet 1
Is there a hole in a bucket, a crack in a pail, a fly in a corner and a board for sale, farewell, farewell
There is (a) no shoe lying on the floor, and the ties can't bind you anymore, can't bind you, bind you anymore
Refrain
When it's gone, it's all gone
Blown down kicked out burnt right down to the bone
(x2)
Couplet 2
Through the wind for a thousand years, crowd notion of silent tears you wouldn't hear, you wouldn't hear
Don't like blue smoke coming through your door, I have been down this way before, and I won't come, won't come back no more
Refrain x1
(instrumental)
Is there a hole in a bucket, a crack in the pail, a fly in a corner and a board for sale, farewell…farewell
Refrain x 4
