This is the song as I learned it in the early 1970's: Oh there was a little man And he had a little can And he went to rush the growler He went to the saloon On a sunday afternoon And he heard the barkeep holler No booze today No booze today You can't buy booze on Sunday No booze today, no booze today You'll have to wait 'till Monday Now the sweetest little girl I know Has a face like a hourse and buggy Leaning up against the lake Oh, fireman save my child Peaking through a knothole in Daddy's wooden leg Who will fry the bacon When I'm gone, gone gone gone gone Go get the axe There's a fly on baby's head Were moving sister's grave To build a silo.
