Lyrics

I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar is what I need (Hey, hey) Well, I need a dollar, dollar a dollar is what I need (Hey, hey) And I said I need dollar, dollar, a dollar is what I need And if I share with you my story, would you share your dollar with me? Bad times are coming, and I reap what I done sowed (Hey, hey) Well, let me tell you something all that glitters ain't gold (Hey, hey) It's been a long, old, trouble, long, old, troublesome road And I'm looking for somebody come and help me carry this load I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar that's what I need (Hey, hey) Well, I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar that's what I need Well, I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground 'Cause everything around me is falling down And all I want is for someone to help me I had a job, but the boss man let me go (He said) I'm sorry, but I won't be needing your help no more (I said) Please, Mister Boss Man, I need this job more than you know But he gave me my last paycheck, and he sent me on out the door Well, I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar that's what I need (Hey, hey) Said I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar that's what I need (Hey, hey) And I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar that's what I need And if I share with you my story, would you share your dollar with me? Well, I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground 'Cause everything around me is crumbling down And all I want is for someone to help me What in the world am I gonna do tomorrow? Is there someone with a dollar that I can borrow? Who can help me take away my sorrow? Maybe it's inside the bottle Maybe it's inside the bottle I had some good old buddies names of whiskey and wine (Hey, hey) And for my good, old buddy I spent my last dime (Hey, hey) My wine is good to me it helps me pass the time And my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than sunshine (Hey, hey) Your mom of mayhem, bless the child that's got his own (Hey, hey) If God has plans for me, I hope it ain't written in stone (Hey, hey) Because I've been working, working myself down to the bone And I swear on grandpa's grave, I'll be paid when I come home (Hey, hey) Well, I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar that's what I need (Hey, hey) Said need a dollar, dollar, a dollar that's what I need (Hey, hey) Well, I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar that's what I need And if I share with you my story, would you share your dollar with me? Come on, share your dollar with me Go 'head, share your dollar with me Come on share your dollar, give me your dollar Share your dollar with me Come on, share your dollar with me
