By townes van zandt |
|
If I had a dollar bill |
|
Yes, I believe I surely will |
|
Go to town and drink my fill |
|
Early in the morning |
|
Little darling, she's a redhaired thing |
|
Man, she makes my legs to sing |
|
Gonna buy her a diamond ring |
|
Early in the morning |
|
Mother was a golden girl |
|
I slit her throat just to get her pearls |
|
Cast myself into a whirl |
|
Before a bunch of swine |
|
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 |
|
I've always been a gambling man |
|
I've roled them bones with either hand |
|
Seven is the promised land |
|
Early in the morning |
|
Whiskey'd be my dying bed |
|
Tell me where to lay my head |
|
Not with me is all she said |
|
Early in the morning |
|
If I had a dollar bill |
|
Yes, I believe I surely will |
|
Go to town and drink my fill |
|
Early in the morning |
