Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Georgia Buck
Subject: ADD Version: Georgie Buck (Doc Watson)
This is what I recall from Doc Watson's version, which is on his first Vanguard album:

My name is Georgie Buck,
Ain't never had no luck,
Always been treated this-a way, boys,
Always been treated this-a way,
Oh, me and it's oh, Lordy my,
What's gonna become of me.

George Buck is dead,
the last words he said
was "dig me a hole in the ground, boys,
dig me a hole in the ground"
Oh, me and it's oh, Lordy my,
what's gonna become of me

Georgie Buck is dead,
the last words he said
was "Never let a woman have her way, boys,
Never let a woman have her way.
You let her have her way,
she's gonna lead you astray,
never let a woman have her way.

First verse.
