Tricky Dicky
All the chicks back home are going jump and shout
When they hear old Tricky Dicky's busted out
The guard he was a-sleeping in the noonday Sun
Flies was a-buzzin' all around his rabbit gun
I slipped down off the rockpile I was a-working on
When that guard woke up, I was up and gone
Tricky Dicky's sure bust out
Tricky Dicky's sure bust out
Tricky Dicky's sure bust out
Gonna tell old Lucy Brown
Tricky Dicky's a-comin' to town
Headed for the river, I was a movin' yak
The sheriff and his dog were breathin' down my back
That river sure was muddy and it sure was wide
I left that bloodhound barkin' on the other side
Tricky Dicky's sure bust out
Tricky Dicky's sure bust out
Tricky Dicky's sure bust out
Gonna tell old Sally Bligh
Tricky Dicky's a-comin' by
Tricky Dicky you know it's true
That I sit here just a-waitin' for you
Farmer's daughter saw me and she gave me a smile
Thought it wouldn't hurt much if I woah, stopped a while
She sat me on the sofa and she gave me a glass of gin
She got me stoned, she telephoned and woah, turned me in
Tricky Dicky's back in jail
Tricky Dicky's back in jail
Tricky Dicky's back in jail
Tell the girls to weep and wail
Tricky Dicky's a back in jail
Dicky Tricky
Todas as garotas lá em casa vão pular e gritar
Quando souberem que o velho Dicky Tricky escapou
O guarda tava dormindo sob o sol do meio-dia
As moscas zumbindo ao redor da sua espingarda
Eu desci da pilha de pedras em que tava trabalhando
Quando o guarda acordou, eu já tinha sumido
Dicky Tricky realmente escapou
Dicky Tricky realmente escapou
Dicky Tricky realmente escapou
Vou avisar a velha Lucy Brown
Dicky Tricky tá chegando na cidade
Fui em direção ao rio, me movendo devagar
O xerife e seu cachorro estavam no meu pé
Aquele rio era bem lamacento e bem largo
Deixei aquele cão farejador latindo do outro lado
Dicky Tricky realmente escapou
Dicky Tricky realmente escapou
Dicky Tricky realmente escapou
Vou avisar a velha Sally Bligh
Dicky Tricky tá passando por aqui
Dicky Tricky, você sabe que é verdade
Que eu tô aqui só esperando por você
A filha do fazendeiro me viu e me deu um sorriso
Achei que não ia doer muito se eu, ué, parasse um pouco
Ela me sentou no sofá e me deu um copo de gin
Me deixou chapado, ligou e, ué, me entregou
Dicky Tricky tá de volta na cadeia
Dicky Tricky tá de volta na cadeia
Dicky Tricky tá de volta na cadeia
Diga pras garotas chorarem e se lamentarem
Dicky Tricky tá de volta na cadeia
