Indian Head Penny

歌詞

I rolled off the Frisco mint in 1909 The last one they ever made You shoulda seen me shine When I landed on the counter they gave me to a kid Making change for a jaw breaker was the first thing that I did And I got traded for a pocket knife, two marbles and some string Wound up on the railroad track waiting for a train I got snatched up by a hobo and turned right into wine Pitched up against the wall at least a thousand times Round and round a penny goes Round and back again Listen and I'll tell you The places that I've been I got stolen from a banker by Pretty Boy Floyd and then They gave me to a farmer who was tryin' to save his land And I was good luck to a soldier back in world war two But he lost me in a poker game the day the war was through I got stuck behind the back seat of a '51 Chevrolet I was spare change in the sixties getting worthless every day Not it's piggy banks and gum machines, an occasional wishing well Or just laying on a bar room floor, Indian heads or tails Round and round a penny goes Round and back again Listen and I'll tell you The places that I've been Oh, but I'm a pretty lucky penny, you know it happens every time Just when I start feeling lost and left behind Some kid'll pick me up and wonder where I've been And put me in his pocket and here I go again Round and round a penny goes Round and back again Listen and I'll tell you The places that I've been Round and round a penny goes Round and back again Listen and I'll tell you The places that I've been
