Bodang Buck

Lyrics

When I left east in '83 For the land of opportunity In my prime, feeling fine Just fresh out of university Twenty-one and got myself a degree Set my mind on a silver mine Kicked off my city shoes Picked up a backwood juice They call Bodang Buck, Bodang Buck Struck it rich in the mining town I had friends a couple miles around What it seemed, a prospector's dream Then my luck kind of seemed ran out Oh my friends, they couldn't help me out Sure felt strange, knowing you and me So I took to drinking liquor Nothing kills a good man quicker Than Bodang Buck, Bodang Buck, oh Everybody in the mining town Turn away when I come around I'm not your man or a dollar in my hand And you act gentle when I can't see You don't like to see a man in need Don't wanna steal but I need a meal Thank you, sir, you're mighty kind What's your name? And I'll tell you mine They call me Bodang Buck, Bodang Buck, Bodang Buck Oh I said Bodang Buck, I said I'm Bodang Buck
