Cash On The Barrelhead Lyrics - The Grass Is Blue - Dolly Parton

I got in a little trouble at the county seat 

Lord, they put me in the jailhouse 

For loafing on the street 

Well, the judge said guilty 

He made his point 

He said fourty-five dollars 

Or thirty days in the joint 

That'll be cash on the barrelhead, hun 

You can take your choice 

You're twenty-one 

No money down 

No credit plan 

No time to chase you 

Cause I'm a busy man

I found a telephone number on a laundry slip 

I had a good, hardy jailor 

With a six gun hip 

He let me call long distance 

She said, "Number, please" 

And just as soon as I told her 

She shouted back at me 

Said that'll be cash on the barrelhead, hun 

Not part, not half 

But the entire sum 

No money down 

No credit line 

Cause a little boy tells me 

You're the travelin' kind 

Photos 

Thirty days in the jailhouse 

Four days on the road 

I was feelin' mighty hungry 

My feet, a heavy load 

I saw a Greyhound comin' 

Stuck out my thumb 

As soon as I was seated 

The driver caught my arm 

Said that'll be cash on the barrelhead, hun 

This old, grey dog gets paid to run 

When the engine starts 

And the wheels will roll 

Give me cash on the barrelhead 

I take ya down the road 

Ohh, cash on the barrelhead 

I take you down the road
