Lyrics
I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
And I said I need dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me
Bad times are comin' and I reap what I don't sow
Hey hey
Well let me tell you somethin' all that glitters ain't gold
Hey hey
It's been a long old trouble long old troublesome road
And I'm looking for somebody come and help me carry this load
I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Well I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
'Cause everything around me is falling down
And all I want is for someone to help me
I had a job but the boss man let me go
He said
I'm sorry but I won't be needing your help no more
I said
Please mister boss man I need this job more than you know
But he gave me my last paycheck and he sent me on out the door
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
Said I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
And I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me
Well I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
'Cause everything around me is crumbling down
And all I want is for someone to help me
What in the world am I gonna to do tomorrow
Is there someone whose dollar that I can borrow
Who can help me take away my sorrow
Maybe it's inside the bottle
Maybe it's inside the bottle
Maybe it's inside the bottle
I had some good old buddy his names is whiskey and wine
Hey hey
And for my good old buddy I spent my last dime
Hey hey
My wine is good to me it helps me pass the time
And my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than the sunshine
Your mom of mayhem just a child has got his own
Hey Hey
If god has plans for me I hope it ain't, written in stone
Hey Hey
Because I've been working working myself down to the bone
And I swear on grandpas grave I'll be paid when I come home
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
Said need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need hey hey
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me
Come on share your dollar with me
Go ahead share your dollar with me
Come on share your dollar give me your dollar
Share your dollar with me
Come on share your dollar with me

[@duatedross3663]

[@LJMaxwellDaKilla2007Z]

Amazing!

[@dianaparker9978]

This is timeless and beyond amazing...

[@ketzer0815]

perfect.
btw. real musicians, instruments and voices ... that's worth another dollar!

[@emilydezius]

his songs have a such a jazz feel and i love it

[@vittoriafelicita]

Quest'uomo è una vera meraviglia! In tutti i sensi. Tanti complimenti!

[@logennovededos4490]

Pois é

[@saezvirginia4575]

Great artist, great song! It reminds me the great music styles of Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, Amy Whinehouse, etc. Thank you! :)

[@nugikeswatchingvids1586]

lol whinehouse

[@Bullet0000]

This song is amazing, it reflect the hard times young generations are going through now...ALOE BLACC you hit a chord with me :)

[@Rahmspinat63]

The song is like a drug, I'm totally high!!!

[@MrJoutlaw]

This is my song, It's the theme song for HBO's Made in America

[@Pazaluz]

Great song. But he doesn't look like he needs a dollar..

[@ProShooter1312]

This was the top search when i searched what is southpaw... What the fuck. This song is beast

[@lolerz10]

Great bass line at 5:51... ahaha

[@donahue37]

His name is Aloe Blacc, and he's here to save music.
Although, first time I heard this I thought it was an old Bill Withers song, real talk.

[@restlesstraveler2]

Great song! Catchy! I just heard you sing live on ARD right after EUROVISION, and I was really surprised to hear that kind of voice and singing come at 00.30 from TV. I love soul and jazz and regrettably do not hear so much of it living here in Germany now. GOOD LUCK!

[@nlpx]

only 150k klicks... those live vids are totally underated...
his performance is genius

[@angelamenyes]

Love Him. But he is married and me, too. LOL :D
Love His music, too. :D

[@AmnesiaChannel]

Bass dude is so classy

[@eagle0468]

Aloe, you're an amazing artist and I can't wait until you roll through my neck of the woods. I'll definitely share my dollar with you and a drink of some of that whisky you're singing about as well!

[@xxdiabloxx1138]

The end is hella fire

[@gordonmatthewsumner]

I can listen this song every day, every single day, in all kind versions !!! Hit of 2010 for me :-))) Keep up the good work !!!!

[@CROW_DOG]

Hilarious!!!
It's too fast. A better drummer, a better drummer is what you need.
Glad you got the guitar & chicks - thanks for listening my good advise.
But make better use of them huh! One day you'll get it right - keep trying.
But make the songs not so simple - less repetition is what you need. It bugged me why I hate this song and now I know why...It's just too simple and gets you to make up better things to say instead of Dollar. Hearing that word so much is dangerous and should be banned!!

[@dimitrifromlondon]

Soul of Al Green. Great.

[@Yetithong]

@macman8680 well i like it and im sure the thousands if not millions of people who like it also enjoy it as much as me .. if this was played in a club it would be happy days!!! take your trolling els where go bug lady ga ga or justin biber

[@annastone8211]

One of my favorite songs of all time :) A song of longing yet it's funky as heeeeell

[@annadietrich1648]

Aloe Blacc 3 lovvvveeeeee

[@kevin1993bosman]

its goes a little faster then origninal but still
I Fucking Love It !

[@LyonLac]

Nice song.. but is it me or does this sound a little bit faster:S?

[@ruedigersyt]

@Gadomm Yeah, although Bill Withers leaned much more into his singing with all he had. Check his live version of Ain't no sunshine.

[@shadyjd123]

Try fighting the urge to burst into dance whilst listening to this walking down the street... its impossible... impossible i tell you.

[@verybighomer]

@LyonLac Yes, sounds like that. But it is typical for good live performances to play with speed, tone and even styles like the Reggae part.

[@okabiktus]

reggae version is better but he can't sing like a rasta .

[@MrFlae]

@bixxius I concur ! :) That girl has something going on...
The song is absolutely brilliant!

[@BloodGutsGore]

I bet Sting's watching this video thinking "fuck I wish he asked me to sing the reggae part"!

[@tamispinay]
