Content

The song is named for the village of Tucker's Town, Bermuda, the mostly black, working-class residents of which were compelled to sell their land in the 1920s to make way for a hotel and golf club, and an enclave where foreign millionaires and billionaires are permitted to own homes (Bermuda, from which South Carolina was colonised in 1670, was a frequent haunt of the South Carolinian band).
