I know the chicks back home are gonna jump and shout
When they hear old Tricky Dicky busted out

The fires were a-buzzin' all around,
it's war,
I'll rob its gun
I slipped down off the rock,
but I wasn't workin' on now
I went back up over,
but I was woe-hard up and down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Tricky Dicky done broke out

Go and tell Miss Lucy Brown,
Tricky Dicky's comin' to town
I headed for the river, I was a-movin' jack now
The sheriff and his dog were breathin' woe-hard down my back
That river sure was muddy and that shore was wide now
I locked up when I saw them on the other side Yeah,

you know it's true I sat here just a-waitin' for you
Well,
a minute gal who saw me and she gave me a shout
I thought it wouldn't hurt much if I woe-hard stopped her now
She sat me on the sofa and she bought me a glass of gin now
She got the stone and she telephone and she woe-hard tellin' me
