Subject: RE: Lyr Req/Add: Johnny Fell Down in the Bucket
The first verse is the same as we sang ("his wife cut the rope to the bucket, and Johnny went straight down to--"). I can't remember the second verse at all, unfortunately.
We sang the last verse as:
Well Satan heard Johnny a-cussin' And locked him up in a cell He said "We won't have you, no sir! We don't use that language in--'
And the chorus was:
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, tra-la-la-la Sweet as the music when heard from afar Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, tra-la-la-la He played on his Spanish guitar
