Lyrics

I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
And I said I need dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me

Bad times are comin' and I reap what I don't sow
Hey hey
Well let me tell you somethin' all that glitters ain't gold
Hey hey
It's been a long old trouble long old troublesome road
And I'm looking for somebody come and help me carry this load

I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Well I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
'Cause everything around me is falling down
And all I want is for someone to help me

I had a job but the boss man let me go
He said
I'm sorry but I won't be needing your help no more
I said
Please mister boss man I need this job more than you know
But he gave me my last paycheck and he sent me on out the door

Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
Said I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
And I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me

Well I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
'Cause everything around me is crumbling down
And all I want is for someone to help me

What in the world am I gonna to do tomorrow
Is there someone whose dollar that I can borrow
Who can help me take away my sorrow
Maybe it's inside the bottle
Maybe it's inside the bottle
Maybe it's inside the bottle

I had some good old buddy his names is whiskey and wine
Hey hey
And for my good old buddy I spent my last dime
Hey hey
My wine is good to me it helps me pass the time
And my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than the sunshine

Your mom of mayhem just a child has got his own
Hey Hey
If god has plans for me I hope it ain't, written in stone
Hey Hey
Because I've been working working myself down to the bone
And I swear on grandpas grave I'll be paid when I come home

Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
Said need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need hey hey
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me

Come on share your dollar with me
Go ahead share your dollar with me
Come on share your dollar give me your dollar
Share your dollar with me
Come on share your dollar with me

[C.game]

The piano is brilliantly executed. Its so simple but it transforms the song. Gives it that 80's jazz vibe

[HipHopSkr]

Tht “PLEASE Mr. Bossman” touched my whole soul…

[naven]

I refuse to believe this song isn’t 40 odd years old. Really has an 80s feel to it

[DrRidaz]

As a newly arrived immigrant in North America, walking through downtown passing by all these skyscrapers to go to work while listening to this track is such a very special feeling....

[jackt]

“Wine is good to me it helps me pass the time and my good oul buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than sunshine” shoutout to my fellow alcoholics during lockdown

[therealniggabruh]

Seeing Aloe blacc’s evolution from Emanon to this will always be incredible..

[natalienewtonebookwriteram]

He has a unique tonality to his voice.

[alanagallacher]

I need a dollar and sunshine are my favourite songs of the 2010's

I could pull a fish straight out of the sea right now and it wouldn't even be close to being as fresh as this dude is

[Starslayer_skycrisis]

Anyone burst out into tears hearing this song or is it just me?
