DOLLAR BILL (copyright 2007 by lonnie crash)


2/4 country shuffle

C
I was taking a walk one day

C
when I saw me a dollar bill

D G C
just laying there, just a laying there

C
I took it to the candy shop

C
to buy me a stick of gum

D G C
but they didn't have none, they didn't have none

C
I took that dollar bill downtown

C
where I saw old Lucy Brown

D G C
just a hangin' around, just hangin' round

C
she said I'll show you a real good time

C
if you give me that dollar bill

D G C
you know I will, oh yes I will

C
we went to the park and laid in the grass

C
she was my first, I wasn't her last

D G C
it was over fast, man, it happened real fast

C
then a couple years later she came to me

C
and said there's a little boy you ought to see

D
his name is William

G C
but I call him dollar Bill


F C
Dollar Bill, oh dollar Bill

C
you're the boy I found when I went downtown

C G
looking for a thrill

F C F C
it just cost a buck to make you, but I never will forsake you

C G C
you're my only son, you're my little dollar Bill




Now the three of us are doing fine


living in a shack by the railroad line


now Lucy's mine, yeah, I made her mine


we got another baby on the way

gonna have another little one any day

it's a happy time, such a happy time

chorus

F
Lucy asks if it's a girl, what name I like, if any

I said to call her what you want

but just don't call her Penny!


well it came so unexpectedly

but I got me a loving family

oh what a thrill

and it started with a dollar bill!


Dollar Bill, oh dollar Bill


you're the boy I found when I went downtown


looking for a thrill


it just cost a buck to make you, but I never will forsake you


you're my only son, you're my little dollar Bill
