I Need a Dollar

[Hook] I need a dollar, dollar A dollar that's what I need Well I need a dollar, dollar A dollar that's what I need Said I said I need dollar, dollar A dollar that's what I need And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me? [Verse 1] Bad times are coming and I reap what I done sowed Well let me tell you something, all that glitters ain't gold It's been a long old trouble, long old troublesome road And I'm looking for somebody come and help me carry this load [Hook] [Break] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Hook + Break] [Verse 3] What in the world am I gonna to do tomorrow Is there someone whose dollar that I can borrow Who can help me take away my sorrow Maybe its inside the bottle Maybe its inside the bottle I had some good old buddy his names is whiskey and wine And for my good old buddy I spent my last dime My wine is good to me it helps me pass the time And my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than sunshine Your mama may have, bless the child that's got his own If God has plans for me I hope it ain't written in stone 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 [Hook]
