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

Bad times are coming and I reap what I done sown
(hey hey)
Well let me tell you something: All that glitters ain't gold
(hey hey)
It's been a long old trouble, a long old troublesome road
And I'm looking for somebody, come and help me carry this load

I need a dollar, a dollar, a dollar that's what I need
(hey hey)
Well I need a dollar, a dollar, a dollar that's what I need

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

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

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

Well I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
Cause everything around me is crumbling down
And all I want is for someone to help me

What in the world am I gonna do tomorrow
Is there someone who has a dollar I could borrow
Who can help me take away my sorrow
(Maybe it's inside the bottle)
(Maybe it's inside the bottle)

I had some good old buddies their names is Whiskey and Wine
(hey hey)
And for my good old buddies I spend my last dime
(hey hey)
Now wine is good to me, he helps me pass the time
And my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than the sunshine
(hey hey)
Your mama may have, desperate child has got his own
(hey hey)
If God has plans for me I hope it ain't written in stone
(hey hey)
Because I've been working, working myself down to the bone
and I swear on grandpas grave, I'll be paid when I come home
(hey hey)

Well I need a dollar, a dollar, a dollar that's what I need
(hey hey)
I need a dollar, a dollar, a dollar that's what I need
(hey hey)
Well I need a dollar, a dollar, a dollar that's what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me

Come on share your dollar with me
Go ahead share your dollar with me
Come on share your dollar
Gimme me your dollar
Share your dollar with me
Come on share your dollar with me
