- I Need A Dollar LyricsI 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
hey hey
Said 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?
Bad times are coming and I reap what I don't sow
hey hey
Well let me tell you somethin', all that glitters ain't gold
hey hey
It's been a long, old, troubled, long old troublesome road
And I'm looking for somebody come and help me carry this load
Chorus:
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
Bridge:
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 meee
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
Chorus:
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?
Bridge:
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 meee
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 it's inside the bottle)
(Maybe it's inside the bottle)
I had some good old buddies, names is whiskey and wine
(hey hey)
and for my good old buddies 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 momma may have blessed 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 grandpas' grave I'll be paid when I come home
(hey hey)
Chorus:
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)
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 ahead share your dollar with me
come on share your dollar gimme your dollar
share your dollar with me
come on share your dollar with me
hey hey
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
And if I share with you my story, would you share your dollar with me?
Bad times are coming and I reap what I don't sow

Well let me tell you somethin', all that glitters ain't gold
hey hey
It's been a long, old, troubled, long old troublesome road
And I'm looking for somebody come and help me carry this load
