I Need A Dollar

I need a dollar, dollar
A dollar, that's what I need
I need a dollar, dollar
A dollar, that's what I need
I need a dollar, dollar
A dollar, that's what I need
If I share with you my story
Will you share your dollar with me?

Bad times are coming
As I reap what I don't sow
Let me tell you something
All that glitters ain't gold
It's been a long old trouble
Long old troublesome road
But I'm looking for somebody
Come and help me carry this load

I need a dollar, dollar
A dollar, that's what I need
I need a dollar, dollar
A dollar, that's what I need

I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
'Cause everything around me is falling down
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"
And I said, "Please, Mr. Boss man, I need this job more than you know"
But he gave me my last paycheck and he shoved me out the door

Now, I need a dollar, dollar
A dollar, that's what I need
I need a dollar, dollar
A dollar, that's what I need
I need a dollar, dollar
A dollar, that's what I need
If I share with you my story
Will you share your dollar with me?

I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
Everything around me now is falling down
All I want is for someone to help me

What in the world are you gonna do tomorrow?
Is there someone whose dollar that I can borrow?
To help me fight away the sorrow
Maybe it's inside the bottle
Maybe it's inside that bottle
Maybe it's inside the bottle

I need a dollar, dollar
A dollar, that's what I need
I need a dollar, dollar
A dollar, that's what I need, hey, hey
I need a dollar, dollar
A dollar, that's what I need
If I share with you my story
Will you share your dollar with me?

And I'm numb, numb, numb
