Silver Dollar from Going Deep by Dov Hammer

SILVER DOLLAR
© music by Danny Zuckerman Lyrics by Dov Hammer

I wish I had a silver dollar for every time I called your name
I wish I had a silver dollar for every time you caused me pain
I would buy cars and houses, I would buy the finest wines
Maybe I could buy your love back, maybe I could make you mine

I wish I had a drink of whisky for every time you put me down
I wish I had a drink of whisky for every time I played the clown
I would get so fine and drunk, I would party, sing and shout
Then I could forget the way that you have turned my life around

I wish I had a song to sing, a song to drive my blues away
I wish I had a song to sing, a song to make you change your ways
I would sing all through the night, I would sing all through the day
I would sing a song so sad; it would make your hair turn grey

I wish that I could travel a mile for every day since you’ve been gone
I wish that I could travel a mile for every time you done me wrong
I would travel around the world, from Baton Rouge down to Hong Kong
East to west and north to south, everyone would hear my song

I wish I had a silver bullet, a wooden stake or a mojo hand
I wish I knew a voodoo woman, an exorcist or a medicine man
Maybe they could help me somehow; maybe they could help me see
Maybe they could help to break the spell that you have put on me
