Dime At A Time Lyrics - Jim Ed Brown

Can't cotton candy help buy a little boy by himslef 

Bought with a dime his mama gave him 

Same thing happened yesterday when he was sent away 

Deprived of love that he was craving 

Little boy life remember the time it used to be a nickel and now it's a dime 

Little boy cry it's handout time love slips away a dime at a time a dime at a time 

[ ac.guitar ] 

He would gladly give away the ten cent smile they bought today 

If that only take the time to hold him 

Why he'd be glad he wouldn't mind although he's not the crying kind 

If that only care enough to scold him and to hold him 

Little boy life remember the time...
