The old man is dead and under the ground
Under the ground, under the ground
The old man is dead and under the ground
Oh, how I know
They planted an apple tree over his head
Over his head, over his head
They planted an apple tree over his head
Oh, how I know
The apples got ripe and ready to fall
Ready to fall, ready to fall
The apples got ripe and ready to fall
Oh, how I know
There came an old woman a-pickin' them up
A-pickin' them up, a-pickin' them up
There came an old woman a-pickin' them up
Oh, how I know
The old man got up and gave her a sock
Gave her a sock, gave her a sock
The old man got up and gave her a sock
Oh, how I know
That made the woman go flippity-flop
Flippity-flop, flippity-flop
That made the woman go flippity-flop
Oh, how I know
The old man is dead and under the ground
Under the ground, under the ground
The old man is dead and under the ground
Oh, how I know
