There’s a hole in my bucket
Dear Liza, dear Liza
Mend the hole then dear Willie
You silly mend it
With what shall I mend it
Dear Liza, dear Liza
With a straw then dear Willy
You silly with a straw
But the straw is too long
Dear Liza, dear Liza
Cut the straw then dear Willie
You silly cut the straw
With what shall I cut it
Dear Liza, dear Liza
With a knife then dear Willie
You silly with a knife
But the knife is too dull
Dear Liza, dear Liza
Whet the knife then dear Willie
You silly whet the knife
With what will I whet it
Dear Liza, dear Liza
With a stone then dear Willie
You silly with a stone
But the stone is too rough
Dear Liza, dear Liza
Smooth the stone then dear Willie
You silly smooth the stone
With what shall I smooth it
Dear Liza, dear Liza
With water dear Willie
You silly with water
In what shall I carry it
Dear Liza, dear Liza
In a bucket dear Willie
You silly in a bucket
But there’s a hole in my bucket
Dear Liza, dear Liza
Then mend it dear Willie
You silly mend it
