Cash On The Barrelhead chords by Dolly Parton

Verse 1:

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

G
He made his point

G
He said fourty-five dollars

           D            G
Or thirty days in the joint


Verse 2:

             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 3:

              G
I found a telephone number, on a laundry slip

I had a good, hardy jailor

        D       G
With a six gun hip

G
He let me call long distance

 G
She said, "Number, please"

 G
And just as soon as I told her

             D      G
She shouted back at me


Verse 4:

                 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 5:

   G
Thirty days in the jailhouse

 G
Four days on the road

         D             G
I was feeling mighty hungry

G
My feet, a heavy load

G
I saw a Greyhound coming

G
Stuck out my thumb

G
As soon as I was seated

              D        G
The driver caught my arm


Verse 6:

                  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
