Shovels and Rope - Buffalo Nickel Lyrics




I walked up to the counter with a buffalo nickel
Was gonna give him half, but instead he charged me triple
He said it's twenty on the money
What you're paying for it honey
I said man you must be joking
He said go ahead and try me
Now he's lookin' at me funny
And my nickel's laying sunny-side down

I hold out till I get myself a little bit corrected
A hot collar isn't any way to get yourself respected
And though I aim to be emphatic
There's an awful lot of static
'Cause you've got a lot of heart, but your moves are enigmatic
And if you're acting too erratic it's my semi-automatic response

You and I (workin' around each other)

I got caught upset-looking like a little shadow
So mad 'cause I couldn't shake the noise out of the rattle
It was mean of me to say, but I meant it when I said
That I guess I'll do all the work and I guess you take all the credit
If you read well then you read it
And I'll just be a dog and shed it alright

You and I (workin' around each other)
