Cash On The Barrelhead |
| I got in a little trouble at the county seat |
| Lord, they put me in the jailhouse |
| For loafing on the street |
| Well, the judge said guilty |
| He made his point |
| He said fourty-five dollars |
| Or thirty days in the joint |
| That’ll be cash on the barrelhead, hun |
| You can take your choice |
| You’re twenty-one |
| No money down |
| No credit plan |
| No time to chase you |
| Cause i’m a busy man |
| I found a telephone number on a laundry slip |
| I had a good, hardy jailor |
| With a six gun hip |
| He let me call long distance |
| She said, «number, please» |
| And just as soon as i told her |
| She shouted back at me Said that’ll be cash on the barrelhead, hun |
| Not part, not half |
| But the entire sum |
| No money down |
| No credit line |
| Cause a little boy tells me You’re the travelin’kind |
| Thirty days in the jailhouse |
| Four days on the road |
| I was feelin’mighty hungry |
| My feet, a heavy load |
| I saw a greyhound comin' |
| Stuck out my thumb |
| As soon as i was seated |
| The driver caught my arm |
| Said that’ll be cash on the barrelhead, hun |
| This old, grey dog gets paid to run |
| When the engine starts |
| And the wheels will roll |
| Give me cash on the barrelhead |
| I take ya down the road |
| Ohh, cash on the barrelhead |
| I take you down the road |
