Lyrics Tucker's Daughter - Ian Moss

Mmm

Hey
Oh, yeah

Hang me for a sucker
On the plains out of Narrabri
Swingin' a hoe
In a CAL-cotton row
Sweatin' on the danger to me

Boss man's Mr. Tucker
He's a man I don't care to defy
His only child
Wicked and wild
Is seeking my company

She said she's gonna (build me up)
Just to (tear me down), yeah
(Slap my knee bones to the ground)
Me and all mine are gonna be around
When Tucker's daughter's a memory

Hot sun is a killer
She'll be waitin' down the end of my line
Takin' the shade with a cool lemonade
Sayin', "Boy, I wanna talka to you"

Boss man'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

Yeah, she's gonna (build me up)
Just to (tear me down), whoa
(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 sound
And Tucker's daughter's a memory

People born with all they need
They don't understand (stand)
Everything you want don't come
From holding out your hand

Tuckers' daughter think she sees
A slave at her command
I know you need some time yet, baby
But the time ain't right
Babe, I just ain't your man

Ooh yeah, she's gonna (build me up)
Just to (tear me down), whoa
(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 sound
Tucker's daughter's a memory

She wanna (build me up)
Just to (tear me down), yeah
(Slap my knee bones to the ground)
Me and mine are gonna be around
When Tucker's daughter's a memory

Come on and (build me up)
Won't you tear me down? Yeah
I won't kneel 'til the trumpet sound
When 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

(Build me up)
Come on and tear me down
I won't kneel 'til the trumpet sound
