Jorma Kaukonen - Brother Can You Spare A Dime lyrics

rate me

They used to tell me I was building a dream

And o I followed the marble

When there was work to do

I was always there

They used to me I was building a dream

With peace and glory ahead

Why should be I staying her waiting on the line?

With my hand out for bread

Once I built a rail road

Made it run

Made it race against time

Once I built a rail road

Now it’s done

Brother can’t you spare a dime?

Once I built a tower to the sun

Brick and water and line

Once I built a tower

Now it’s done

Brother can you spare a dime?

Once a kaki suit and with jeans

Filled with that Yankee doodle dumb

I have a million boots

And I was the kid with the drum

Say that you remember you called me out

It was out all the time

Say that you remember

I’m your pal

Brother can you spare a dime?

Instrumental

Once a kaki suit and with jeans

Filled with that Yankee doodle dumb

I have a million boots

And I was the kid with the drum

Say that you remember you called me out

It was out all the time

Say that you remember

I’m your pal

Brother can you spare a dime?

Say that you remember

I’m your pal

Buddy can you spare a dime?
