E
 I know the chicks back home are going to jump and shout 
A                                        E
  When they hear old Tricky Dicky busted out 

[Verse 1]
E
The guard he was a-sleeping in the noonday sun now
A                                   E
Flies were a-buzzin' all around his wo-hah rabbit gun 
E
I slipped down off the rockpile I was a-working on now
A                                   E
When that guard woke up, well I was wo- hah up and gone 
E
Yeah, yeah, yeah

E
I headed for the river, I was a movin' jack now
A                                      E
The sheriff and his dog were breathin' wo-hah down my back 
E
That river sure was muddy and it sure was wide 
  A                              E
I left it when I saw them on the wo-hah other side 
E
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
E                    ( A  )  E
Tricky Dicky he's done broke out
E                    ( A  )  E

[Verse 3]
E
Well I met a gal who saw me and she gave me a shout
  A                                  E
I thought it wouldn't hurt much if I wo-hah, stopped an hour 
E
She sat me on the sofa and she brought me a glass of gin 
A                                         E
She got me stoned, and she telephoned she wo-hah, turned me in
