Hang me
for a sucker
On the plains
out of Narrabri
Swingin' a hoe in
a CAL-cotton row
Sweatin' on the
dangers to me
Bossman
Mister Tucker
He's a man I
don't care to defy
And his only child
wicked and wild is
seeking my company
She says she's
gonna build me up
just to tear me down
Slap my knee bones
to the ground
Me and mine are
gonna be around
When Tucker's
daughter's a memory
Hot sun is a killer
She'll be waitin' at
the end of my line
Taking the shade
with a cool
lemonade sayin'
Boy I wanna
talk to you
Bossman's
only daughter
She ain't his and
she'll never be mine
Never be down on
a dollar or two
Or told what
she's gonna do
Yes she's gonna
build me up
just to tear me down
Slap my knee bones
to the ground
Me and mine are
gonna be around
When Tucker's
daughter's a memory
Build me up
Tear me down
I won't kneel 'til
the trumpet sounds
And Tucker's
daughter's a memory
People born with
all they need
They don't understand
Everything you want
don't come from
holding out your hand
Tuckers' daughter
thinks she sees a
slave at her command
I know you need
some time yet baby
But when the
time is right
Babe I just
ain't your man
Oh yeah
she's gonna
build me up
just to tear me down
Slap my knee bones
to the ground
Me and mine are
gonna be around
When Tucker's
daughter's a memory
She wanna
build me up
just to tear me down
Baby come on
I won't kneel 'til
the trumpet sounds
And Tucker's
daughter's a memory
She wanna
build me up
just to tear me down
Slap my knee bones
to the ground
Me and mine are
gonna be around
When Tucker's
daughter's a memory
Come on
Build me up
Won't you
tear me down
I won't kneel 'til
the trumpet sounds
And Tucker's
daughter's a memory
Come on and
build me up
Won't you
tear me down
Slap my knee bones
to the ground
Me and mine are
gonna be around
When Tucker's
daughter's a memory
