  Lawd, they put me in the jail house for loafing on the street

  When the judge heard the verdict I was a guilty man

  F                                                          C

  Said, that'll be cash on the barrelhead, son

  You can take your choice you're twenty-one

                     Bb                         F

  No money down, no credit plan

                            C                                        F

  No time to chase you cause I'm a busy man

  

  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
