It's a long distance phone and I feel
so alone here without him.
It's a crime and a shame that I ain't got
the change and don't you know that I'm worried
about him.
#2.
I've been all over town every street, up and
down looking for the man.
He's just a face in the crowd where the traffic
roars loud but don't you know he'd be proud to
give a helping hand.
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me
a dollar?
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough
and I ain't got the money to call him.
#3.
I threw my pride out the door cause I've been turned
down before but I'll keep trying.
This type of pain is kind of hard to explain but the
feeling's the same as like dying.
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me
a dollar?
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough
and I ain't got the money to call him.
#4.
You put the change in my hand, you're the world's kindest
man and I thank you, sir.
You'll never know what you've done for this poor mother's
son, a thirsty man just got a cold cup of water.
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me a dollar?
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough and I
ain't got the money to call him.
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me a dollar?
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough and I
ain't got the money to call him (Fade.)
