This Old Man Songtext
von Pete Seeger

This old man, he plays one
He plays knick-knack on my thumb
Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man, he plays two
He plays knick-knack on my shoe
Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man, he plays three
He plays knick-knack on my knee
Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man, he plays four
He played knick-knack on the floor
Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home


This old man, he plays five
He plays knick-knack on my hive
Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man, he plays six
He plays knick-knack on my sticks
Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man, he plays seven
He plays knick-knack up to heaven
Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man, he plays eight
He plays knick-knack on his gate
Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man, he plays nine
He plays knick-knack on his spine
Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home


This old man, he plays ten
He plays knick-knack now and then
Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
