lyrics

ONE MO' DOLLA
(Bill Carter -Blame Music BMI)

stranded down by the station, watchin them trains roll by
those tracks lay out forever, and disappear into the sky
that ticket man told me somethin' i fin awfully hard to swaller
before you can ride sam, you need one mo' dolla


the rail boss raised his right arm big billy club in his hand
screamed get your ass off that platform or I'll bash out alla your
brains
I say give me a break Jake i got to get to Walla Walla
he yelled get to steppin bro' or give me one mo' dolla

CHORUS
yea i need one more dolla, one more dolla, yea i need one more
dolla' before they'll let me ride...i need one more dolla' or I'll
be here for the rest of my life

well i got a little girl way up North, aint seen her in 5 years time
been down in that Texas prison payin back for some old crime
all aboard i hear that brakeman holler.......somebody please
i need one mo' dolla

from the corner of my glass eye, the most beautiful sight in the
world
she had a big bright diamond on her finger, and her neck was drippin'
with pearls
she slipped me a bill, she said now go see your daughter
i cried thank you mam, Lord i got me one mo' dolla

i got one mo' dolla, i got one mo' dolla, i got me one mo' dolla
now they gottsta let me ride
i aint never comin' back not even for the rest of my life
