Couplet 1
Is there a hole in a bucket, a crack in a pail, a fly in a corner and a board for sale, farewell, farewell
There is (a) no shoe lying on the floor, and the ties can´t bind you anymore, can´t bind you, bind you anymore

Refrain
When it´s gone, it´s all gone
Blown down kicked out burnt right down to the bone
(x2)
Couplet 2
Through the wind for a thousand years, crowd notion of silent tears you wouldn´t hear, you wouldn´t hear
Don´t like blue smoke coming through your door, I have been down this way before, and I won´t come, won´t come back no more.
Refrain x1
(instrumental)
Is there a hole in a bucket, a crack in the pail, a fly in a corner and a board for sale, farewell…farewell
Refrain x 4
