guy clark – indian head penny lyrics
i rolled off the san francisco mint in 1909
the last one they ever made, you should’ve 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
i got traded for a pocket knife, two marbles and some string
wound up on a railroad track waiting for a train
sn-tched up by a hobo and turned right into wine
pitched up against the wall at least a hundred thousand times
chorus
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
he gave me to a farmer who was trying to save his land
i was good luck to a soldier back in w.w.ii
he lost me in a poker game the day the war was through
i got stuck behind the back seat of a ’51 chevrolet
spare change in the sixties, getting worth less every day
now it’s piggy banks and gum machines
and occasional wishing wells
or laying on a barroom floor, indian heads or tails
chorus
i’m a pretty lucky penny, lord it happens every time
just when i start feeling lost and left behind
some kid will pick me up and wonder where i’ve been
put me in his pocket, and here i go again
chorus
