GUEST,MSBluesman Lyr ADD: Whoa Back Buck (Leadbelly) (55* d) RE: Lyr Req: Whoa Back Buck (Leadbelly) 11 Nov 08


This is the version of Whoa Back Buck that I have, as best as I can piece it together from previous posts and from my own transcription.

Tom done buck and Bill won't pull,
Papa gonna cut that other little bull.
Whoa back. Buck, an' gee, by the Lamb!
Who made the back-band? Whoa, goddam !

Chorus:
Whoa, Buck, an' gee, by the Lamb!
   Who made the back-band? Whoa, goddam!
Whoa, Buck, an' gee, by the Lamb!
   Who made the back-band? Whoa, goddam!               
Whoa, goddam, an'-a whoa, goddam!
   Who made the back-band? Whoa, goddam!

Tom done buck and Bill won't pull,
Papa gonna cut that other little bull.
Whoa back. Buck, an' gee, by the Lamb!
Who made the back-band? Whoa, goddam !

(Chorus)

I taken my gal to the country store
I bought my gal some calico
Bought my gal some calico
I'm takin' my gal to the party, oh!

(Chorus)

Me and my gal come a-walking down the road
Wind from the feet knocking sugar in the gourd
Sugar in the gourd and the gourd on the ground
If you wanna get the sugar gotta roll the gourd around.

(Chorus)

I'm takin' my gal to a party, oh!
All dressed up in her calico
Takin' my gal to the party, oh!
I wouldn't let her dance but a set or so.

(Chorus)

Tom done buck and Bill won't pull,
Papa gonna cut that other little bull.
Whoa back. Buck, an' gee, by the Lamb!
Who made the back-band? Whoa, goddam !

Whoa, Buck, an' gee, by the Lamb!
   Who made the back-band? Whoa, goddam!
