A Crying Dime
A CRYING DIME
Written By: Levin Schwartz
Verse:
I never cared much for gardening
But I just did it anyway.
Then you turned around
Gave me a hard row to hoe
Day after day
Verse:
You never did like to share your candy
You just did it anyway.
Strength is found in the
Strangest place.
Like in my suitcase – going some place.
Verse:
I’m a six-string player and a rounder.
I’m a bourbon drinker and a pavement pounder.
This life is like a roulette wheel.
Everybody knows the deal-
Place your bets says the dealer
But I don’t have a crying dime….
So with arpeggios of laughter….
Refrain:
I sing around the town
Shimmering distant tones
Of the bugles blowing the blues away
I sing around the town
Shimmering distant tones
Of the bugles blowing the blues away
