Dollar Bill Blues
Townes Van Zandt
[Verse 1]
If I had a dollar bill
Yes, I believe, I surely will
Go to town and drink my fill
Early in the morning

[Verse 2]
Little darling, she's a red-haired thing
Lord, she makes my legs to sing
Gonna buy her a diamond ring
Early in the morning

[Verse 3]
Well Mother was a golden girl
I slit her throat just to get her pearls
Cast myself into a whirl
Before a bunch of swine

[Verse 4]
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
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
I've always been a gambling man
I've rolled them bones with either hand
Seven is the promised land
Early in the morning

[Verse 6]
Whiskey be my dying bed
Tell me where to lay my head
"Not with me" is all she said
Early in the morning

[Verse 1]
If I had a dollar bill
Yes, I believe, I surely will
Go to town and drink my fill
Early in the morning
