THREE SILVER DOLLARS
By: Tom T. Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: I CALLED HIS BLUFF
HE CALLED ME SOMETHING
THEN I KNOCKED HIM TO THE FLOOR
SITTING IN THE COUNTY JAIL-HOUSE
WONDER WHAT I DID THAT FOR

CHORUS: IF I HAD THREE SILVER DOLLARS
I'D BE OUT OF HERE TODAY
IF I HAD THREE SILVER DOLLARS
I COULD MAKE MY GET-A-WAY
DOLLAR FOR MY SUPPER
DOLLAR FOR MY BED
DOLLAR FOR THE WHISKEY
TO EASE MY WEARY HEAD

VERSE 2: MADE THAT LADY
A FRIENDLY OFFER
AND SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS GAME
SAID HER HUSBAND WORKED THE RAILROAD
AND HE JUST GOT OFF THE TRAIN

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: CALLED MY BOSS
AND I ASK HIM
IF HE'D GET ME OUT OF JAIL
HE SAID, SON, YOU ARE IN TROUBLE
I KNOW WHERE TO SEND YOUR MAIL

REPEAT CHORUS
