Jimmie Rodgers - Crooked Little House Lyrics

There was a crooked man and he had a crooked smile
He had a crooked sixpence he walked a crooked mile
He had a crooked cat and he had a crooked mouse
They all lived together in a crooked little house

Uh huh oh no don't let the rain come down
Uh huh oh no don't let the rain come down
Uh huh oh no don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

Well this very crooked man who had a crooked smile
He took his crooked sixpence and walked a crooked mile
He bought some crooked nails and he bought a crooked bat
He tried to fix his roof with a rat-a-tat-a-tat

Uh huh oh no don't let the rain come down
Uh huh oh no don't let the rain come down
Uh huh oh no don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

Well this crooked little man with his crooked cat and mouse
They all lived together in a crooked little house
It had a crooked door and it has a crooked latch
It has a crooked little roof with a little crooked patch

Uh huh oh no don't let the rain come down
Uh huh oh no don't let the rain come down
Uh huh oh no don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

Uh huh oh no don't let the rain come down
Uh huh oh no don't let the rain come down
Uh huh oh no don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
