Charlie Went Down In The Bucket (My understanding of this song is that Charlie's wife is the sweet voice and she is playing on her Spanish guitar.) The following is the way I learned the song some 80 plus yrs. ago.)
Charlie went down in the bucket And the bucket went down in the well, His wife cut the rope on the bucket And Charlie went on down to …. Tring, ling, ling, ling, tra, la, la, la, Sweet is the voice that comes heard from afar Tring, ling, ling, ling, tra, la, la, la, As she played on her Spanish guitar.
Charlie went on down to Hades And he landed with a terrible slam He landed on a red hot shovel And said, "I don't give a …." Tring, ling, ling ling, tra, la, la, la Sweet is the voice that comes from afar Tring ling, ling, ling, Tra, la, la, la She played on her Spanish guitar.
Now the Devil heard Charlie a'cursing And he locked him up in a cell He said, "Guess you know I'm the Devil But we allow no cursing in …." Tring, ling, ling, ling, tra, la, la, la, Sweet is the voice that comes from afar Tring, ling, ling, ling, tra, la, la, la, She played on her Spanish guitar.
