I've been 'buked and I've been scorned
I've been 'buked and I've been scorned, children
I've been 'buked and I've been scorned
Tryin' to make this journey alone

They talk about me sure as you please
Talk about me sure as you please, children
Talk about me sure as you please
Your talk will drive me onto my knees

I've been 'buked and I've been scorned
I've been 'buked and I've been scorned, children
I've been 'buked and I've been scorned
Tryin' to make this journey alone
