Brother (Buddy) Can You Spare a Dime - Peter, Paul and Mary

Once i built a railroad, i made it run

I made it run against time

Once i built a railroad, and now it’s done

Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once i built a tower way up to the sun

Of bricks and morter and lime

Once i built a tower, and now it’s done

Buddy can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell

Full of that yankee-doodlee-dum

A half-a-million boots went sloggin' through hell

And i was the kid with the drum

Say don’t you remember, you called me al

It was al all the time

Say don’t you remember, i was your pal

Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once i built a railroad, i made it run

I made it run against time

Once i built a railroad, and now it’s done

Buddy, can you spare a dime?
