Tucker's Daughter

[A#m]Hang me for a sucker  [G#]
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

She wanna [C#]build me [Cm]up [A#m]tear me [G#]down
[F#]Slap my [Fm]knee bones [F#]to the [G#]ground
[C#]Me and [Cm]mine are gonna [A#m]be a[G#]round
When [F#]Tuckers' daughter's a [G#]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 talka to you
Bossmans' 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

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

[Fm]People born with all they need
[A#m]They don't understand
[F#]Everything you want don't come from [F#]holding out your [A#m]hand [G#]
[Fm]Tuckers' daughter thinks she sees
[A#m]A slave at her command
[F#]I know you need some time yet baby
[F#m]But when the time is right
[G#]Babe I just ain't your man

[A#m]  [G#]
