I Only Had a Dollar

RAYMOND EDWARD, DORSET

I want to buy you presents, I want to buy you clothes
I want to get myself together and get right on back home

But I only have a dollar, I only have a dollar for the weekend

I wanna fill my car with gas and get out on the road
I asked my boss to lend me cash but he just said oh no

An' I only have a dollar, I only have a dollar for the weekend
I only have a dollar, I only have a dollar for the weekend

I want to make you happy, give you a real good time
I wanna take you dancin' drink some wine
An' it's been such a long time since we saw each other darling
It's been such a long long long long time

I went off to make money to work hard on the land
Nothing seemed to work out, everything went bad

Now I only have a dollar, I only have a dollar for the weekend
I only have a dollar, I only have a dollar for the weekend.

I wanna fill my car with gas and get out on the road

MIDDLE (02)

I want to make my girl real happy, give her a real good time
Take her dancing take her drinking have a little wine
It's been such a long time that we let ourselves let go
I asked my boss for money but he said he is broke
And I only have a dollar, I only have a dollar for the weekend
