BrooklynJay Lyr ADD: Whoa Back Buck (Leadbelly) (55* d) RE: Lyr Req: Whoa Back Buck (Leadbelly) 02 Feb 23


Second transcription. As before, lines in parenthesis were spoken.

Whoa Back Buck - Lead Belly version #2

Chorus:
Whoa, Buck an' gee, by the lamb
Who made the back band, whoa, Cunningham.
Whoa, Buck an' gee, by the lamb
Who made the back band, whoa, Cunningham.
Whoa, Cunningham, an' whoa Cunningham,
Who made the back band, whoa, Cunningham.

Eighteen, nineteen, twenty years ago,
I taken my gal to a country store.
Taken my gal to a country store,
I bought my gal some calico.
("Ta-ya, whoa, back up, gee, yeah, whoa-ho, yeah!")

(Chorus)

Me an' my gal come a-walkin' down the road,
Wind from her feet knockin' sugar in the gourd,
Sugar in the gourd and the gourd on the ground,
Wanna get the sugar got to roll the gourd around.
("Ta-whoa, back up, gee Buck, yea-ah, yeah!")

(Chorus)

("Ta-whoa, back up, gee, yea-ah, whoa!")
