Dollar Bill Blues Lyrics - Down Home Music - Townes Van Zandt

If I had a dollar bill 

Yes, I believe, I surely will 

Go to town and drink my fill 

Early in the morning 

Little darling, she's a redhaired thing 

Man, she makes my legs to sing 

Gonna buy her a diamond ring 

Early in the morning 

Mother was a golden girl 

I slit her throat just to get her pearls 

Cast myself into a whirl 

Before a bunch of swine 

It's a long way down the Harlan Road 

Busted back and a heavy load 

Won't get through to save my soul 

Early in the morning 

I've always been a gambling man 

I've rolled them bones with either hand 

Seven is the promised land 

Early in the morning 

Whiskey'd be my dying bed 

Tell me where to lay my head 

Not with me is all she said 

Early in the morning 

If I had a dollar bill 

Yes, I believe, I surely will 

Go to town and drink my fill 

Early in the morning
