The drunkard fellow says that he has committed a murder to steal the pearls necklace from one person to sell it and to buy a diamond ring to other girl, in whom he was crushed. But the latter refused him and now he grabs his last money & going to a bar to drink them off. He says that whiskey will eventually turn him dead and he’ll lay his head. He has no soul left and his life is a total way of loneliness. This blues is so dramatic, as it felt that a singer was once in despair, but now he is over it.

Dollar Bill Blues Song Lyrics

If I had a dollar bill

Yes, I believe I surely will

Go to town and drink my fill

Early in the morning

Little darling, she's a red haired thing

Man, she makes my legs to sing

Gonna buy her a diamond ring

Early in the morning

Mother was a golden girl

I slit her throat just to get her pearls

Cast myself into a whirl

Before a bunch of swine

It's a long way down the Harlan road

Busted back and a heavy load

Won't get through to save my soul

Early in the morning

I've always been a gambling man

I've rolled them bones with either hand

Seven is the promised land

Early in the morning

Whiskey'd be my dying bed

Tell me where to lay my head

Not with me is all she said

Early in the morning

If I had a dollar bill

Yes, I believe I surely will

Go to town and drink my fill

Early in the morning
