  • Artist:

    Ian Moss

Hang me for a sucker 
B5 
On the plains out of Narrabri 

Swingin' a hoe in a CAL-cotton row 

Sweatin' on the dangers to me  

Bossman's Mr. Tucker 

He's a man I don't care to defy 

And his only child wicked and wild is seeking my company 
    B5             A5                 E5              A5 
She wanna build me up     tear me down 
          D5        D5   B5      D5 
Slap my knee bones to the ground 
G5       D5       G5      A5         
Me and mine are gonna be around 
D5      D5           B5   D5 
When Tuckers' daughter's a memory 
E5            D5         G5     A5        A5 
 

Hot sun is a killer 
B5 
She'll be waitin' at the end of my line 

Taking the shade with a cool lemonade sayin' 

Boy I wanna talka to you 

Bossmans' only daughter  

She ain't his and she'll never be mine 

Never be down on a dollar or two 
B5                 A5    
Or told what she's gonna do 
   E5                    F#5   A5 
 

She wanna build me up tear me down 

Slap my knee bones to the ground 

Me and mine are gonna be around  

When Tuckers' daughters a memory 

Build me up tear me down 

I won't kneel 'til the trumpet sounds 

And Tuckers' daughter's a memory 
 
People born with all they need 
F#5 
They don't understand 
B5              A5      D5  
Everything you want don't come from holding out your hand 
G5                     D5      E5               F#5    F#5   F#5  
Tuckers' daughter thinks she sees 
F#5 
A slave at her command 
B5                A5     D5            
I know you need some time yet baby 
G5                         D5 
But when the time is right 
             E5 
Babe I just ain't your man 
A5                      B5
