| Now 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 didn’t hear 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, that Ol' Man Mose is dead | 
| I believe Ol' Man, I believe Ol' Man | 
| I believe Ol' Man, that Ol' Man Mose is dead | 
| (Now you believe) Mose kicked the bucket | 
| (You believe) Mose kicked the bucket | 
| (You believe) Mose kicked the bucket | 
| (You believe he’s dead) | 
| (You believe) Mose kicked the bucket | 
| (You believe) Mose kicked the bucket | 
| (You believe) Mose kicked the bucket | 
| (You believe he’s dead) | 
| Now listen here | 
| I went 'round to the window | 
| And I peeped in through the crack | 
| Inside there was an old man | 
| Laying flat upon his back | 
| I thought that he was sleeping | 
| Head hung to the floor | 
| He didn’t make a single move | 
| So I ain’t gonna do it no more | 
| 'Cause I found out Ol' Man, I found out Ol' Man | 
| Yeah, I found out Ol' Man, Ol' Man Mose is dead | 
| ('Cause 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) | 
| Ol' Man Mose is dead |
