[Verse 1]
Now Old Johnny Buckle went a'riding one day
His horse got broke and his cart run away
If Old Johnny Buckle hadn't come to a stop
He'd have fell from the bottom of the hill to the top
[Verse 2]
Old Mrs. Buckle went a'fishing one day
She caught her left leg in the clay
The toads and frogs all wobbled about
She ran to get a shovel to dig herself out
[Verse 3]
Old Johnny Buckle went to Doctor Hook
And he jotted it down in his black book
Says 'Mr. Buckle you must begin
To rub your wife's left leg with gin'
[Verse 4]
Now Old Johnny Buckle thought it a great sin
To rub his wife's left leg with gin
He poured the gin down his old groggle
And rubbed his wife's left leg with the bottle
[Verse 5]
God made man, man made money
God made the bees and the bees made honey
God made Satan and Satan made sin
Along comes Satan and took Johnny in
[Outro]
I do believe
I do believe
Old Johnny Buckle was a gay old Buckle
And Old Mrs. Buckle too
