Intro: #1. It’s a long distance phone and I feel   so alone here without him. It’s a crime and a shame that I ain’t got   the change and don’t you know that I’m worried   about him. #2. I’ve been all over town every street up and   down looking for the man. He’s just a face in the crowd where the traffic   roars loud but don’t you know he’d be proud to   give a helping hand. Chorus: Mister can you find it in your heart to lend me   a dollar? For the times have been slow I’m fresh outta dough and I ain’t got the money to call him. #3. I threw my pride out the door cause I’ve been turned   down before but I’ll keep trying. This type of pain is kind of hard to explain but the   feeling’s the same as like dying. Chorus: Mister can you find it in your heart to lend me   a dollar? For the times have been slow I’m fresh outta dough                           G...........Eb and I ain’t got the money to call him. #4. You put the change in my hand you’re the world’s kindest   man and I thank you sir. You’ll never know what you’ve done for this poor mother’s   son a thirsty man just got a cold cup of water. Chorus: Mister can you find it in your heart to lend me a dollar? For the times have been slow I’m fresh outta dough and I   ain’t got the money to call him. OUTRO: Mister can you find it in your heart to lend me a dollar? For the times have been slow I’m fresh outta dough and I   ain’t got the money to call him..(Fade.)
