NICKELS QUARTERS AND DIMES

(Bill Anderson - Jimmy Gateley)

'66 Moss Rose Publications RECORDED BY JIMMY GATELEY

I just took my last ten dollars from my pocket

I said I'd like some change if you don't mind

The bartender asked me how I'd like it

I said nickels quarters and dimes

I spread my silver out across the table

I said money get her off my mind

I thumbed the cash in all of my old mem'ries

With these nickels quarters and dimes

Nickels tip the waitress dimes play the jukebox

And quarters buy me wine wine wine

Now there's seven empty bottles on the table

Money's runnin' short and so is time

Turn the jukebox up and I'll drink faster

Hurry nickels quarters and dimes

I just noticed the waitress has the same first name as you do

And on the jukebox why I'd recognize you're singin' anytime

But I didn't know till now they put your picture

On nickels quarters and dimes

Nickels tip the waitress dimes play the jukebox

And quarters buy me wine wine wine

And quarters buy me wine wine wine

SONG WRITTEN BY TED BOSMAN & EDDIE LEGATE IN 1962 IN FLINT, MI

NICKELS, QUARTERS, AND DIMES

I walked into a barroom and laid my money down

I said kind sir can you give me some change

When he asked me, When he asked me how I'd like it

I said nickles, quarters, and dimes

CHORUS

For I said nickles tip the waitress

Dimes play the jukebox

And quarters buy me wine,wine,wine

I made it to the phone 100 times or more

And the operator asked me, Number please

But I keep walking back to the table

To build my courage up on nickles, quarters,and dimes

CHORUS

I got seven empty bottles on the table

Well my moneys running short and so is time

Since when did they start putting your picture on nickles, quarters, and dimes

CHORUS

Since when did they start putting your picture on nickles, quarters, and dimes
