I need a dollar, dollar
dollar that's what I need
Well I need a dollar, dollar
dollar that's what I need
Said I said I need dollar, dollar
dollar that's what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me?

[Verse 1]
Bad times [bad word] and I reap what I done sowed
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 [bad word] and help me carry this load

[Hook]
I need a dollar, dollar
dollar that's what I need
Well I need a dollar, dollar
dollar that's what I need
Said I said I need dollar, dollar
dollar that's what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me?

[Break]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Hook]
I need a dollar, dollar
dollar that's what I need
Well I need a dollar, dollar
dollar that's what I need
Said I said I need dollar, dollar
dollar that's what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me?

[Break]
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

[Verse 3]
What in the world am I gonna to do tomorrow
Is there someone whose dollar that I can borrow
Who can help me take away my sorrow
Maybe its inside the bottle
Maybe its inside the bottle
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 sunshine
Your mama may have, bless the child that's 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 grandpa's grave I'll be paid when [bad word] home

[Hook]
I need a dollar, dollar
dollar that's what I need
Well I need a dollar, dollar
dollar that's what I need
Said I said I need dollar, dollar
dollar that's what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me?
