David Olney – $20 Serenade Lyrics

Folk

Hey mister, can you give me twenty dollars
Two tens, four fives or twenty ones will do
I used to have a watch one time
That one you've got looks just like mine
You think it's gonna rain tonight?
Yeah, me too
And every time it rains I miss my baby
As pretty and as sweet as she can be
Hey mister, I sure like those shoes
They look a little big on you
I wonder how those shoes would look on me
Hey, wait a minute mister, what's your hurry?
Are you sure there's some place you'd rather be?
I'll bet you that gold wedding band
Those keys you're holding in your hand
Will open up that black Mercedes parked across the street
Ever seen a gun like this one, mister?
I wonder if it's loaded, don't you?
I've heard them say, "Don't point a gun
At anybody just for fun"
So let me tell you just exactly what I'm goin' to do
I'm goin' to leave you twenty dollars, mister
I think that's the least that I could do
Be careful in this neighborhood
Some guys 'round here, they're just no good
I hope this twenty dollars sees you through
It's a pleasure doin' business with you
