Tom : G
G
I got in a little trouble, at the county seat
Lord, they put me in the jailhouse
D G
For loafing on the street
G
Well, the judge said guilty
He made his point
He said forty-five dollars
D G
Or thirty days in the joint
[Chorus]
C G
That'll be cash on the barrelhead, hun
D
You can take your choice
G
You're twenty-one
C
No money down
G
No credit plan
D
No time to chase you
G
Because I'm a busy man
[Instrumental]
C G D G C G D G
[Verse 2]
G
I found a telephone number, on a laundry slip
I had a good-hearted jailor
D G
With a six gun hip
G
He let me call long distance
She said, "Number, please"
And just as soon as I told her
D G
She shouted back at me
[Chorus]
C G
Said that'll be cash, on the barrelhead, hun
D
Not part, not half
G
But the entire sum
C
No money down
G
No credit line
D
Because a little boy tells me
G
You're the traveling kind
[Verse 3]
G
Thirty days in the jailhouse
Four days on the road
I was feeling mighty hungry
D G
My feet, a heavy load
G
I saw a Greyhound coming
Stuck out my thumb
As soon as I was seated
D G
The driver caught my arm
[Chorus]
C G
Said that'll be cash on the barrelhead, hun
D G
This old grey dog, gets paid to run
C
When the engine starts
G
And the wheels will roll
D
Give me cash on the barrelhead
G
I take ya down the road
D
Ohh, cash on the barrelhead
G C G
I take you down the road
