Old Man Mose - Louis Armstrong, Jimmy Dorsey and his orchestra, Frances Langford, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Dorsey, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby

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
