  • 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

  • 12 people has holes in their buckets.

  • love this song, it reminds me of my mum! :)

  • @nickwalco - uh, like I said before Henry is too lazy to do either one which is why there is only one bucket (the one with the hole). It is obvious that he is just making excuse after excuse to put off the work altogether.

  • Odetta could kick my bucket anytime..

  • 19 people didn't fix the holes in their bucket

  • 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.

  • one of the cleverest folk songs ever!

  • @Tadrith420 best solution buy or borrow a bucket xD

  • this song cracks me up and makes me soo happy

  • Oh. My. God. Happiest couple ever.
