Artist: Dolly Parton Album: The Grass Is Blue
Lyrics
I got in a little trouble at the county seat Lord they put me in the jailhouse for loafing on the street When the judge said guity he made his point He said forty five dollars or thirty days in the joint
That'll be cash on the barrelhead hon You can make your choice you're twenty one No money down no credit plan No time to chase you cause I'm a busy man [ mandolin - dobro ] 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 Just as soon as I told her she shouted back at me
Said that'll be cash on the barrelhead hon Not parting out head but the entire sum No money down no credit line Cause a little bird tells me you're a travelling kind [ fiddle ] Thirty days in the jailhouse four days on the road I was feeling mighty hungry my feet a heavy load I saw a greyhound coming stuck up my thumb As soon as I was seated the driver caught my arm
That'll be cash on the barrelhead hon This old grey dog is paid to run When the engine stops and the wheels will roll Give me cash on the barrelhead I'll take you down the road Cash on the barrelhead I'll take you down the road
