Bodang Buck

When I left east from eight to three
Oh the land of opportunity
In my pain, 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, they come from miles around
But it seems a prospector's dream
I bet my luck, can it seem that high?
Oh my friends they couldn’t help me out
Sure feels strange, no nugget made

So I took to drinking liquor
Nothing feels so good and down quicker
Than Bodang Buck, Bodang Buck, oh

Everybody in the mining town
Turn away when I call around
I'm not your man, all the dollars in my hand
You left town when I can't see
You don’t like to see a man of me
Don't wanna steal, gonna 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
