Lead Belly — Whoa Back Buck 1948
[Intro]
Ta-woah-ho, back up!
[Chorus]
Woah, buck an' gee by the lamb
Who made the back band, woah Cunningham
Woah, buck an' gee by the lamb
Who made the back band, woah Cunningham
Woah Cunningham and oh Cunningham
Who made the back band, woah Cunningham
[Verse 1]
Eighteen, nineteen, twenty years ago
I taken my gal to a country store
Taken my gal to a country store
I bought my gal to some calico
Tally-ho-ho, gee, back up! Yeah
[Chorus]
Woah, buck an' gee by the lamb
Who made the back band, woah Cunningham
Woah, buck an' gee by the lamb
Who made the back band, woah Cunningham
Woah Cunningham and oh Cunningham
Who made the back band, woah Cunningham
[Verse 2]
I taken my gal to a country store
I bought some calico
Taken my gal to a party-o
And I wouldn't let her dance but a set or so
Tally-ho-ho! Gee, back up bub, get over there, yeah-eah
[Chorus]
Woah, buck an' gee by the lamb
Who made the back band, woah Cunningham
Woah, buck an' gee by the lamb
Who made the back band, woah Cunningham
Woah Cunningham and oh Cunningham
Who made the back band, woah Cunningham
[Verse 3]
You take Sal and I'll take Jane
Both good lookin' but they ain't the same
You swing Sal and I'll swing Sue
Mighty little difference between them two
Tally-ho-ho! Gee, back up, woah, get over
[Chorus]
Woah, buck an' gee by the lamb
Who made the back band, woah Cunningham
Woah, buck an' gee by the lamb
Who made the back band, woah Cunningham
Woah Cunningham and oh Cunningham
Who made the back band, woah Cunningham
[Outro]
Tally-ho-ho! Gee, back up, yeah
