Ol' Man Mose Lyrics

Wayne Newton Ol' Man Mose

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 the door
He didn't make a single sound
So I ain't gonna do it no more

'Cause I believe, ol' man
I believe, ol' man
I believe, ol' man
And ol' man Mose is dead

Oh, I believe, ol' man
I believe, ol' man
I believe, ol' man
And ol' man Mose is dead

Now I believe that he kicked the bucket
Yeah man, a buck-buck-bucket
I believe that he done kicked that bucket
And ol' man Mose is dead

I went round to the window
And I peeked in through a crack
Inside there was an old man
Laying flat upon his back

I thought that maybe he was sleeping
And his hand hung to the floor
He didn't make a single sound
So I ain't gonna do it no more

I found out, oh yeah
I found out, oh yeah
I found out, oh yeah
That ol' man Mose is dead

I done found out, oh yeah
I found out, ol' man
I found out, oh yeah
That ol' man Mose is dead

I found out he kicked that bucket
Yeah man, a buck-buck-bucket
I found out he kicked that bucket
And ol' man Mose is dead

I found out he kicked that bucket
Yeah man, a buck-buck-bucket
I found out he kicked that bucket
And ol' man Mose is dead
He expired
