Well, this old man, he played one

He played knick-knack on my thumb

Knick-knack, paddiwack

Give a dog a bone

This old man came a-rollin' home



Well, this old man, he played two

He played knick-knack on my shoe

Well, knick-knack, paddiwack

Give a dog a bone

This old man came a-rollin' home



Well, this old man, he played four

He played knick-knack on my door

Knick-knack, paddiwack

Give a dog a bone

This old man came a-rollin' home



Yeah!



(guitars & instrumental)



Well, this old man, he played five

He played knick-knack on my side

Well, knick-knack, paddiwack

Give a dog a bone

This old man came a-rollin' home



Well, this old man, he played six

He played knick-knack on my stick

Knick-knack, paddiwack

Give a dog a bone

This old man came a-rollin' home



Well, this old man, he played seven

He played knick-knack on my head

Knick-knack, paddiwack

Give a dog a bone

This old man came a-rollin' home



Well, this man, he played eight

He played knick-knack on his gate

Knick-knack, paddiwack

Give a dog a bone

This old man came a-rollin' home



Alright!



(Dano & instrumental)



'Go home old man'



'Rock it, now'



'Rock it now, old man'



'Go 'head.
