Townes Van Zandt — Dollar Bill Blues

[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
