Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Whoa Back Buck (Leadbelly)
Subject: Lyr Add: WHOA BACK BUCK (Leadbelly)^^
Wow, I have a totally other one, by Gibson, I think. Is that a version of this one or a totally other song with parallel evolution or something?
Chorus: Whoa back buck and gee by the lam, who made the back bend?
Whoa, Cunningham! (bis)
Me and my gal a-walking down the road
And her knees knocked together playing "sugar in the gourd"
Sugar in the gourd and the gourd in the ground
If you want a little sugar got to roll the gourd around

My old man was a good old man
Washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And he died with a toothache in his heel

Eastbound train on the westbound track
Westbound train on the eastbound track
Both those trains were running fine
But what a terrible way to run a railroad line!

Repeat first verse ^^
