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
