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.
