about

by Alex Mallett

lyrics

Got a jar full of pickles
And a vine that’s fat with grapes
But I never had a bottle of wine
Or steak on a China plate

I laid my money down lord
I laid my money down
I laid my money down lord
I laid my money down

That rich old city marshall
You can’t call him on the phone
He sure can dock your wages though
Cut your wheels down to the spokes

I laid my money down lord
I laid my money down
I laid my money down lord
I laid my money down

My silver bells aren’t ringing
And my lightbulbs are dusty and grey
I’ve been taking to making my own whisky
To keep me up at night and down through the day

I laid my money down lord
I laid my money down
I laid my money down lord
I laid my money down
