When Pa

When Pa, when Pa;
When Pa, when Pa;
When Pa was
A little boy like me,
He used to go
In swimmin', in swimmin';
He used to go
Way up the creek
Where there was no fear
Of women, Of women.

One day, one day;
One day, one day;
One day some people
Came that way
And stole all Pa's
Apparel, apparel.
He stayed in the water
All day long-ong-ong,
And at night went home
In a barrel, a barrel,
A big, round wooden barrel.
A big, round wooden barrel.
