Ballard Of Thomas Brown/lay Your Money Down

Tom brown love to sing
love to play his dobro
play all day
he ride the trains
tom brown was a hobo
Rode dem boxcars town to town
drinkin' cheap red wine
played dem blues like noone else
just throw old tom a dime
Tom brown love to sing
love to play his dobro
play all day
he ride the trains
tom brown was a hobo
Sometimes i get to thinkin' 'bout
old mr. thomas brown
most folk did not like his kind
but they lay their money down
Layin' the money down
Layin' the money down
Now i ride from town to town
upon a silver train
i drink red wine but it ain't cheap
i drink to dull the pain
Sometimes it helps
sometimes it don't
but you know i have found
the only time i'm satisfied
is when they lay that money down
Lay your money down, down, down
Well i don't wear a mask or carry no gun
but i'll take that money and away i'll run
Lay your money down, down, down
They say that money is evil well if that's true
i'll be a bad, bad boy better me than you
Lay your money down, down, down
Just lay that money down
Play for pay i'm here to say
it's so sad but it's true
it's a mean old world
and noone else is lookin' out for you
I like to hear you sing my songs
but there's no sweeter sound
as the sound of the silver
and the sound of the gold
As they lay their money down
Lay your money down, down, down
Well i don't wear a mask or carry no gun
but i'll take that money and away i'll run
Lay your money down, down, down
They say that money is evil well if that's true
i'll be a bad, bad boy better me than you
Lay your money down, down, down
Just lay that moeny down
I remember sittin' on my granddaddy's knee
down by the lake under the old oak tree
said keep away from wicked women
keep away from cheap wine
and don't miss a chance
to make yourself a dime
He told me about a man named thomas brown
finest blues picker for miles around
not a whole lotta people
liked old tom's ways
but they threw down their money
to hear him play
Lay your money down, down, down
Well i don't wear a mask or carry no gun
but i'll take that money and away i'll run
Lay your money down, down, down
They say that money is evil well if that's true
i'll be a bad, bad boy better me than you
Lay your money down, down, down
Just lay that moeny down
Lay your money down, down, down
Well i don't wear a mask or carry no gun
but i'll take that moeny and away i'll run
Lay your money down, down, down
They say that money is evil well if that's true
i'll be a bad, bad boy better me than you
Lay your money down, down, down
Just lay that money down
Lay that money down, down, down
Lay that money down, down, down
Just lay that money down
