Townes Van Zandt - Dollar Bill Blues download song

Song Lyrics

I slit her throat just to get her pearls, i slit her throat just to get her pearls Dollar, mother was a golden girl
seven is the promised land
Going to buy her a diamond ring, mother was a golden girl Bill, she s a red-haired thing
I ve always been a gambling man, she s a red-haired thing Townes, whiskey d be my dying bed
Whiskey d be my dying bed, early in the morning, not with me is all she said
i ve always been a gambling man
Mother was a golden girl, i slit her throat just to get her pearls, go to town and drink my fill
Going to buy her a diamond ring, i surely will Blues, won t get through to save my soul

little darling
Before a bunch of swine, i surely will
Early in the morning, early in the morning
Early in the morning, whiskey d be my dying bed
Not with me is all she said, early in the morning
Busted back and a heavy load, she makes my legs to sing, going to buy her a diamond ring
Tell me where to lay my head, won t get through to save my soul, if i had a dollar bill
it s a long way down the harlan road

busted back and a heavy load
I ve rolled them bones with either hand, busted back and a heavy load
Seven is the promised land, i ve rolled them bones with either hand
Early in the morning, little darling
Won t get through to save my soul, i ve always been a gambling man Dollar, whiskey d be my dying bed
cast myself into a whirl
She makes my legs to sing, she makes my legs to sing
Tell me where to lay my head, she s a red-haired thing

Cast myself into a whirl, it s a long way down the harlan road
Tell me where to lay my head, going to buy her a diamond ring, i surely will
Early in the morning, going to buy her a diamond ring, going to buy her a diamond ring
early in the morning
Won t get through to save my soul, early in the morning Dollar, i surely will
I slit her throat just to get her pearls, won t get through to save my soul, if i had a dollar bill
early in the morning
Early in the morning, i slit her throat just to get her pearls Dollar, busted back and a heavy load

i ve rolled them bones with either hand
Early in the morning, cast myself into a whirl
Tell me where to lay my head, won t get through to save my soul, not with me is all she said
Before a bunch of swine, i slit her throat just to get her pearls
Mother was a golden girl, going to buy her a diamond ring Bill, she s a red-haired thing
I surely will, early in the morning
early in the morning
Early in the morning, seven is the promised land Zandt, go to town and drink my fill

She makes my legs to sing, little darling Dollar, she makes my legs to sing
Go to town and drink my fill, i ve rolled them bones with either hand
I ve rolled them bones with either hand, busted back and a heavy load
Going to buy her a diamond ring, i ve always been a gambling man
I ve rolled them bones with either hand, going to buy her a diamond ring, little darling
won t get through to save my soul
not with me is all she said
early in the morning

If i had a dollar bill, i slit her throat just to get her pearls, i slit her throat just to get her pearls
Little darling, won t get through to save my soul, she s a red-haired thing
Early in the morning, won t get through to save my soul
It s a long way down the harlan road, cast myself into a whirl, busted back and a heavy load
it s a long way down the harlan road
Not with me is all she said, seven is the promised land
If i had a dollar bill, it s a long way down the harlan road
If i had a dollar bill, i ve always been a gambling man Dollar, tell me where to lay my head

i surely will
