Hambone, Hambone where you been?
Around the world and back again.
Hambone, Hambone where’s your wife?
In the kitchen eating rice.
Hambone, Hambone have you heard?
Papa’s gonna buy me a mockingbird
If that mocking bird don’t sing?
Papa’s gonna by me a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring don’t shine?
Papa’s gonna buy me a fishing line.
Hambone, Hambone where you been?
Around the world and I’m going again.
