The Ballad Of Thomas Brown - Lay Your Money Down - Roxx Gang

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
