[Intro]
I know the chicks back home are gonna jump and shout
When they hear old Tricky Dicky busted out-a
[Verse One]
The guard he was a-sleeping in the noonday sun-a
The flies was a-buzzing all around his old rabbit gun-a
I slipped down off the rampart I was a-working on-a
And a-when that guard woke up well I was well off and gone
[Chorus]
Hey Na Na Na
Tricky Dicky you done broke out
Tricky Dicky you done broke out
Tricky Dicky you done broke out
Go tell Miss Lucy Brown
Tricky Dicky's a-coming to town
[Verse Two]
Headed for the river I was a-moving Jack-a
That sheriff and his dog was breathing war down my back-a
That river sure was muddy and it a-sure was wide
But I left that bloodhound barking on the whoa other side
[Chorus]
Hey Na Na Na
Tricky Dicky you done broke out
Tricky Dicky you done broke out
Tricky Dicky you done broke out
Go and tell Old Sally Black
Tricky Dicky's a-coming Back
Hey Hey Hey
[Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
Tricky dear you know it's true
We're all sitting here just a-waiting for you
[Verse Three]
Some farmer's daughter saw me and she a-gave me a smile-a
I thought it wouldn't hurt much if I whoa stopped a while-a
She sat me on the sofa and she poured me a glass of gin-a
She got me stoned and she telephoned and whoa turned me in
[Chorus]
Hey Na Na Na
Tricky Dicky you done broke out
Tricky Dicky you done broke out
Tricky Dicky you done broke out
Tell the gals to weep and wail
Tricky Dicky's a-back in jail
Hey Hey Hey
Tricky Dicky's a-back in jail
Tricky Dicky's a-back in jail
Tricky Dicky's a-back in jail
Tricky Dicky's a-back in jail
Tricky Dicky's a-back in jail
[Fade out]
