Tricky Dicky

I know the chicks back home
Are gonna jump and shout
When they hear old tricky dicky busted out
The guard he was a-sleeping
In the noon day sun now
The flies were buzzing all around his
Woo, all around his gun
I slipped down off the rock pile
I was a-working on now
And when that guard woke up well I was
Woo, I was up and gone

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tricky dicky done broke out
Tricky dicky done broke out
Tricky dicky done broke out

Go and tell Miss Lucy Brown
Tricky dicky's coming to town
Well, I headed for the river
I was a-moving Jack now
The sheriff and his dogs were breathing
Woo, hot down my back
That river sure was muddy
And that sure was wide now
I tucked out when I saw them on the
Woo, the other side
Tricky dicky done broke out
Tricky dicky done broke out

Go and tell old Sally Black
Tricky dicky's coming back
Hey, hey, hey
Tricky dicky you know it's true
I'm sitting here just waiting for you
Well, I met a gal who saw me
And she gave me a shout
I thought it wouldn't hurt
If I woo, my something out
She sat me on the sofa
And she brought me a glass of gin now
She got me stoned and she telephoned
And she woo, ha turned me in
Tricky dicky done broke out
Tricky dicky done broke out

All the gals gonna weep and wail
Tricky dicky's back in jail
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey.
