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 aint cheap I drink to dull the pain Sometimes it helps Sometimes it dont 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 dont 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 thats 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 theres 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 dont 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 thats true I'll be a bad bad boy better me than you Lay your money down down down Just lay that money down I remember sittin on my granddaddys 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 dont 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 thats true I'll be a bad bad boy better me than you Lay your money down down down Just lay that money down Lay your money down down down Well i dont 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 thats truei'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
