A dollar down and a dollar a week lyrics

E-E-E-E-E

A friend of mine bought an automobile

At a dollar down and a dollar a week.

Every time he turned the wheel,

It was a dollar down and a dollar a week.

He went riding down the road,

Pinched this girl upon her cheek.

Speed cop took him to the judge,

He got a dollar down and a dollar a week.

Sixty days he laid in jail,

At a dollar down and a dollar a week,

Another man was a lovin' his gal,

At a dollar down and a dollar a week.

When he got out he shot the man,

And laid him in the graveyard six feet deep.

And when he bought the graveyard spot,

it was a dollar down and a dollar a week.
