Drop Some Silver In The Jukebox

I walked into a tavern it was cheap and small

With an ancient sign and jukebox that leaned against the wall

A girl stood near the jukebox with sad and hurting eyes

When I asked if she was lonely she replied

Drop some silver in the jukebox and I’ll dance with you

Though there’s other guys around here much handsomer than you

But you seem like a good guy so I’ll give you first chance

Drop some silver in the jukebox and we’ll dance

So I fed the silent jukebox just to dance with her

And she played the longest saddest songs that I’ve ever heard

Then I asked her if she’d join me for a drink or two or three

And she threw that same ol’ message back to me

Drop some silver in the jukebox and I’ll drink your wine

And listen to that case of blues that you got on your mind

For your hearts either broken or badly bent I think

Drop some silver in the jukebox and we’ll drink

So we talked and danced and drank right up till closing time

And when we walked out from the tavern why I had spent my last thin dime

So I ask her if she’d care to hear a little music up at my place

She shoved that same ol’ message in my face

Drop some silver in the jukebox and I’ll drink your wine

And listen to that case of blues that you got on your mind

For your hearts either broken or badly bent I think

Drop some silver in the jukebox and we’ll drink

Drop some silver in the jukebox and we’ll drink
