Brother, (buddy) Can You Spare A Dime? Lyrics - Peter, Paul & Mary

Once I built a railroad, I made it run 

I made it run against time 

Once I built a railroad, and now it's done 

Buddy, can you spare a dime? 

Once I built a tower way up to the sun 

Of bricks and morter and lime 

Once I built a tower, and now it's done 

Buddy can you spare a dime? 

Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell 

Full of that Yankee-Doodlee-Dum 

A half-a-million boots went sloggin' through hell 

And I was the kid with the drum 

Say don't you remember, you called me Al 

It was Al all the time 

Say don't you remember, I was your pal 

Buddy, can you spare a dime?
