Thread Name: Worst Folk Song Ever?
Subject: RE: Worst Folk Song Ever?
I thought nobody else would know this one, but I seem to be wrong.
When she was about 9 years old, my little sister learned an interminable song with a dreary, dreary tune. It started, "There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza." About 18 verses later it clunked to a halt because the repair for the hole required a bucket of something, and of course, there was a hole in the bucket.
I just Googled "There's a hole in the bucket, dear..." and got 796 hits. Obviously some misguided souls are keeping that darn song alive.
