Whoa Back Buck Ox Drivers Song by Leadbelly

E                             D
Whoa back buck and gee by the lamb,
E                       B7  E
Who made the back band, old Cunningham.
E                             D
Whoa back buck and gee by the lamb,
E                       B7  E
Who made the back band, old Cunningham.
E                      D
Old Cunningham and old Cunningham,
E                       B7  D
Who made the back band, old Cunningham.

E                                D
Eighteen, nineteen, twenty years ago,
E                   B7      E
I taken my gal to a country store.
E                         D
Taken my gal to a country store,
E               B7   E
I bought my gal some calico.

(Chorus)

E                           D
I taken my gal to a country store,
E               B7   E
I bought my gal some calico,
E                       D
Taken my gal to a party-o
E                            B7     E
Wouldn't let her dance but a set or so.

(Chorus)

E                          D
You take Sal and I'll take Jane
E                           B7        E
Both good lookin', but they ain't the same
E                            D
You swing Sal and I'll swing Sue
E                        B7          E
Mighty little difference between the two.

(Chorus)
