First you tied it round your hand
You showed me so I would understand
It's the handiest knot
Was it in the book that I bought?

Inline Bowline
Inline Bowline

We all were tying knots at the game
We all were glad that he came
We toyed with tying the noose
Though I knew we'd give it use

Inline Bowline

Did he think that he was nothing?
Only ending his life was left to try
Over turned over (?), I'm left to sing
Really why, really why, really why

I use it to tie up my canoe
I use it to tie my shoe
It's handy on a whim
This knot is tied to him

Inline Bowline
Inline Bowline
Inline Bowline
Inline Bowline

Tied to him, Inline Bowline, Tied to him, really why
