old man mose
manhattan transfer, the
now one time there lived an old man
he lived inside a log hut
and they called him ol' man mose
one dark and dreary morning i knocked upon his door
i didn't hear a single sound
so i ain't gonna do it no more
that ol' man mose is dead
that ol' man mose is dead
i went round to the window
and i peeped in through the crack
inside there was an old man
laying flat upon his back
i thought that he was sleeping
he didn't make a single move
so i ain't gonna do it no more
'cause i found out ol' man
