Honey, honeybee ball,
I can't see y'all.
All hid?

"No-o-o!"
Is all hid?
"No-o-o!"

I went to the river,
I couldn't get across.
I paid five dollars for an old gray horse.

One leg broke,
The other leg cracked,
And goodness gracious how the horse did rack.

Is all hid?
"No-o-o!"
Is all hid?

"No-o-o!"
I went down the road,
The road was muddy.

Stubbed my toe
And made it bloody.
Is all hid?

"No-o-o!"
Is all hid?
"No-o-o!"

Me and my wife and a bobtail dog,
We crossed that river on a hickory log.
She fell in, and I fell off,

And left nobody but the bobtail dog.
Is all hid?
"No-o-o!"

Is all hid?
"No-o-o!"
One, two, I don't know what to do.

Three, four, I don't know where to go.
Five, six, I'm in a terrible fix.
Seven, eight, I made a mistake.

Nine, ten, My eyes open? I'm looking.
