I Need a Dollar

I need a dollar, dollar, dollar is what I need
I need a dollar, dollar, dollar is what I need
Said I need a dollar, dollar, 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 don't sow
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

I need a dollar, dollar, dollar is what I need
Well I need a dollar, dollar, dollar is 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 Mr. 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

I need a dollar, dollar, dollar is what I need
Well I need a dollar, dollar, dollar is what I need
Said I need a dollar, dollar, dollar is what I need

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 I gonna do tomorrow?
Is there someone whose dollar I can borrow?
Who can help me take away my sorrow?
Maybe it's inside the bottle
Maybe it's inside the bottle

I have some old good buddies, name is whiskey and wine
And for my good old buddy I spend my last dime
My wine is good to me, it help me pass the time
And my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than the sunshine
Your mama's mayhem just a child has got his own
If God has plans for me, I hope it ain't fitting a stone
'Cause 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

I need a dollar, dollar, dollar is what I need
I need a dollar, dollar, dollar is what I need
Said I need a dollar, dollar, dollar is 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
Give me your dollar
Share your dollar with me
Come on, share your dollar with me
