Kathy Bates (she's quite a famous actress and has done many movies.)

I have no idea if this is how it happened, but I get the impression that while he was out of sight as she called him, he was behind the barn using an awl to put the hole in the bucket in the first place. LOL

Laugh myself silly every time I hear this version. Sounds like a typical marriage to me. I hear some version of this song every time I hear a really long term couple go round and round with an argument.

And that ax is supposed to be a hammer. That's where she breaks his ankles.
