Don't Let the Deal Go Down

traditional; arrangement by Michael Nesmith


Don't let the deal go down little girl
Don't let the deal go down
Don't let the deal go down little girl
Till your last gold dollar's done gone

Who's gonna shoe your pretty little
Who's gonna glove your hand
Who's gonna kiss those ruby red lips
Cause who's gonna be your man

Don't let the deal go down little girl
Don't let the deal go down
Don't let the deal go down little girl
Till your last gold dollar's done gone

Mama's gonna shoe your pretty little foot
Papa's gonna glove your hand
Nobody's gonna kiss your ruby red lips
Cause I'm gonna be your man

Don't let the deal go down little girl
Don't let the deal go down
Don't let the deal go down little girl
Till your last gold dollar's done gone

Where did you get those high-button shoes
Dresses you wear so fine
I got my shoes from a railroad boy
And my dresses from a driver in a mine

Don't let the deal go down little girl
Don't let the deal go down
Don't let the deal go down little girl
Till your last gold dollar's done gone
