cash on the barrelhead Louvin Brothers
[F]Got in a little trouble at the county seat
[F] [C]Lawd, they pu[F]t me in the jail house for loafing on the street
[F]When the judge heard the verdict I was a guilty man
[F] [C] [F]He said forty-five dollars or thirty days in the can
[Bb]Said, that'll be cash on the barrelhead, son[F]
You can take your choice you're tw[C]enty-one[F]
No money down, no c[Bb]redit plan[F]
No time to chase you cause[C] I'm a busy man[F]
Found a telephone number on a laundry slip
I had a good hearted jailer with a six gun hip
He let me call long distance , she said number please
And no sooner than I told her, she shouted out at me
That'll be cash on the barrelhead son
Not part not half but the entire sum
No money down, no credit plan
Cause a little bird told me , you're a travellin' man
Thirty days in the jailhouse, four days on the road
I was feeling mighty hungry my feet a heavy load
Saw a greyhound coming stuck up my thumb
Just as I was being seated, the driving caught my arm
Said that'll be cash on the barrelhead son
This old gray dog gets paid to run
When the engine starts, lawd, the wheels won't roll
Give me cash on the barrelhead I'll take you down the road
