I wrote my new song on a five dollar bill [00:00:01]
But I won't be able to sing it until [00:00:03]
I get hot on the trail for to pick up the track [00:00:05]
Of the dirty little thief and get my five bucks back [00:00:07]
I first got the five dollars from a Montana man [00:00:12]
When he come across the line with a pistol in his hand [00:00:14]
He said gimme all your money but I got to his first [00:00:16]
And I took his Colts too and the whole first verse [00:00:19]
You see you couldn't buy liquor in the States back then [00:00:23]
So we saddled up the ponies and we loaded up the gin [00:00:26]
Rode underneath the shadow of the grande Old Chief [00:00:28]
To git northern Rocky Mountain kinda tax relief [00:00:31]
You couldn't count on the cattle when the market got down [00:00:34]
And the veterinary bills to the doctor in town [00:00:36]
Both kids needed shoes and they had to get fed [00:00:39]
And a big old bank lien was over my head [00:00:41]
I wrote my new song on a five dollar bill [00:00:46]
But I won't be able to sing it until [00:00:48]
I get hot on the trail for to pick up the track [00:00:50]
Of the dirty little thief and get my five bucks back [00:00:53]
They wouldn't stop talking about Canadian rye [00:00:57]
Bouquet and the palate and it's crisp and it's dry [00:01:00]
In a Seagrams bottle tasted mighty top shelf [00:01:02]
I said "well thank you very much sir I cooked it myself" [00:01:05]
Of course that didn't wash with the boys down south [00:01:08]
Judging by the stream of color coming out of their mouth [00:01:10]
I can't figure why cuz from where I stood [00:01:13]
It got 'em just as damn drunk as any store bought would [00:01:15]
I wrote my new song on a five dollar bill [00:01:20]
But I won't be able to sing it until [00:01:22]
I get hot on the trail for to pick up the track [00:01:24]
Of the dirty little thief and get my five bucks back [00:01:27]
Well he come stormin' cross the border with six or eight guys [00:01:45]
Some damn fool saw fit to deputize [00:01:48]
But there weren't no sheriff nor a marshall in sight [00:01:50]
I guess the lawman was up drinkin' whiskey all night [00:01:53]
He said gimme all your money but I got to his first [00:01:56]
And I took his Colts too and the whole third verse [00:01:58]
He picked my back pocket worked the five bucks loose [00:02:01]
I had tucked in behind a can of Copenhagen[00:02:03]
I wrote my new song on a five dollar bill [00:02:08]
But I won't be able to sing it until [00:02:10]
I get hot on the trail for to pick up the track [00:02:12]
Of the dirty little thief and get my five bucks back [00:02:15]
The dirty little double dealing son-of-a-gun-of-a song stealin' chicken eatin' thief [00:02:18]
And get my five bucks back[00:02:22]
