Hole in the Bucket Keb' Mo'

I'm working, working all day long
I'm working all day long
I'm working my finger to the bone
I'm working all day long
And there is a hole in the bucket
Gotta keep the bone, keep it long

Martha, Martha, don't you cry
Martha, oh Martha, don't you cry
I know we'll get by
There's a hole in the bucket
But I don't know the reason why

I'm standin' waitin' for that train
I'm waitin' for that train
I'm standin', I'm waitin' for that train
Lord I'm waitin' for that train
There's a hole in the bucket
And I got nobody to blame
