Bad times are comin' and I reap what I don't sow Well let me tell you somethin' 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 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
I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
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 the sunshine
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need Said I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need And I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is 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
Your mom of mayhem just a child has 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 grandpas grave I'll be paid when I come home
