Hambone, hambone where you been?
Around the world and I'm back again
Hambone, Hambone, where's your wife?
In the kitchen, eating rice
Hambone, hambone, have you heard?
Papa's gonna buy me a mocking bird
If that mocking bird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy 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 goin' again
(Pick it up now!)

If that mocking bird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy me a diamond ring
