Lyrics for Song: Nickels, Quarters And Dimes
Lyrics for Album: Pick Again [Decca] [1967]



(Bill Anderson - Jimmy Gateley)

Bill Anderson & Jimmy Gateley



I just took my last ten dollars from my pocket

I said I'd like some change if you don't mind

The bartender asked me how I'd like it

I said nickels, quarters and dimes.



I spread my silver out across the table

I said money get her off my mind

I thumbed the cash in all of my old mem'ries

With these nickels, quarters and dimes.



Nickels tip the waitress dimes play the jukebox

And quarters buy me wine, wine, wine.



Now there's seven empty bottles on the table

Money's runnin' short and so is time

Turn the jukebox up and I'll drink faster

Hurry nickels, quarters and dimes.



I just noticed the waitress has the same first name as you do

And on the jukebox why I'd recognize you're singin' anytime

But I didn't know till now they put your picture

On nickels, quarters and dimes.



Nickels tip the waitress dimes play the jukebox

And quarters buy me wine, wine, wine.



And quarters buy me wine, wine, wine...
