Cash On The Barrelhead Lyrics - Singles - Parsons Gram

All right, ooh yeah 

got in a little trouble at the county seat 

lawd, they put me in the jail house 

for loafing on the street 

when the judge heard the verdict, I was a guilty man 

he said forty-five dollars or thirty days in the can 

said, that'll be cash on the barrelhead, son 

you can take your choice, you're twenty-one 

no money down, no credit plan 

no time to chase you cause I'm a busy man 

fourty days in the jailhouse, four days on the road 

I was feeling mighty hungry, my feet a heavy load 

saw a greyhound coming stuck up my thumb 

before I got to my seat, the driving caught my arm 

said, that'll be cash on the barrelhead, son 

this old gray dog gets paid to run 

when the engine starts, lawd, the wheels won't roll 

give me cash on the barrelhead, I'll take you down the road 

said, that'll be cash on the barrelhead, son 

you can take your choice, you're twenty-one 

no money down, no credit plan 

no time to chase you cause I'm a busy man 

no time to chase you cause I'm a busy man
