The Old Oaken Bucket Lyrics by The Mellomen

Meet Me Down on Main Street

1957

[Chorus]
The old oaken bucket
The ironbound bucket
The moss-covered bucket
That hung in the well
[Verse 1]
How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood
When fond recollection presents them to you
The orchard the meadow, the deep tangled wild wood
And every loved spot which my infancy knew
[Verse 2]
The wide spreading pond and the mill which stood by
The bridge and the rock where the cataract fell
The cot of my father, the dary house nigh it
And the iron bound bucket that hung in the well
[Chorus]
The old oaken bucket
The ironbound bucket
The moss-covered bucket
That hung in the well
