This Old Man Lyrics

Fiddler's Green This Old Man

This old man, he played one
He played knick-knack on my drum
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man is rolling home

This old man, he played two
He played knick-knack on my shoe
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man is rolling home

This old man, he played three
He played knick-knack on my knee
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man is rolling home

This old man, he played four
He played knick-knack on my door
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man is rolling home

This old man, he played five
He played knick-knack on my hive
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man is rolling home

This old man, he played six
He played knick-knack on my sticks
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man is rolling home

This old man, he played seven
He played knick-knack 'till eleven
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man is rolling home

This old man, he played eight
He played knick-knack on my gate
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man is rolling home

This old man, he played nine
He played knick-knack on my dime
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man is rolling home

This old man, he played ten
He played knick-knack once again
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man is rolling home

This old man, he played eleven
He played knick-knack up in heaven
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man is rolling home
