Am
Once there lived an old man
And he had a very funny nose
He lived in a little log hut
E Am
Called him ol' man Mose
Am
Well I went down to his cabin
And I look down through the door
Well there I saw a little ol' man
E Am
Lying on the floor
Well wether if was dead or not
I really don't know
But one thing that I'm certain of
E Am
Ain't gonna do it no more
Am E
Because I found out ol' man
Am E
All about ol' man
Am E
You know I found out ol' man
E Am
That ol' man Mose is dead
C
We believe Mose kicked the bucket
G
We believe oh Mose kicked the bucket
C
We believe yeah Mose kicked the bucket
E Am
And we believe is dead
Repeat above 3 times then:
E Am
And we believe is dead

Patricia Norman's version where the first time ever the word "fuck" is being used on a

At least that's what it sounds like since the recording.
