CASH ON THE BARRELHEAD | |
(Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin) | |
" © '56 Acuff-Rose Music " | |
Got in a little trouble at the county seat | |
Lord they put me in the jailhouse for loafing on the street | |
When the judge heard the verdict I was a guilty man | |
He said forty five dollars or thirty days in the can | |
That'll be cash on the barrelhead son you can make your choice you're twenty one | |
No money down no credit plan no time to chase you cause I'm a busy man | |
Found a telephone number on a laundry slip | |
I had a good hearted jailer with a six gun hip | |
He let me call long distance she said number please | |
And no sooner than I told her she shouted out at me | |
That'll be cash on the barrelhead son not parting cash but the entire sum | |
No money down no credit plan cause a little bird tells me you're a travelling man | |
Thirty days in the jailhouse four days on the road | |
I was feeling mighty hungry my feet a heavy load | |
Saw a greyhound coming stuck up my thumb | |
Just as I was being seated the driver caught my arm | |
That'll be cash on the barrelhead son this old grey dog is paid to run | |
When the engine stops and the wheels won't roll | |
Give me cash on the barrelhead I'll take you down the road |
