E                             D 
Whoa back buck and gee by the lamb, 
E                       B7  E 
Who made the back band, old Cunningham. 
E                             D 
Whoa back buck and gee by the lamb, 
E                       B7  E 
Who made the back band, old Cunningham. 
E                      E 
Old Cunningham and old Cunningham, 
E                       B7  D 
Who made the back band, old Cunningham. 

E                                D 
Eighteen, nineteen, twenty years ago, 
E                   B7      E 
I taken my gal to a country store. 
E                         D 
Taken my gal to a country store, 
E               B7   E 
I bought my gal some calico. 

(Chorus) 

E                           D 
I taken my gal to a country store, 
E               B7   E 
I bought my gal some calico, 
E                       D 
Taken my gal to a party-o 
E                            B7     E 
Wouldn't let her dance but a set or so. 

(Chorus) 

E                          D 
You take Sal and I'll take Jane 
E                           B7        E 
Both good lookin', but they ain't the same 
E                            D 
You swing Sal and I'll swing Sue 
E                        B7          E 
Mighty little difference between the two. 

(Chorus)
