about

Based loosely on a song by "One String Sam".
In 1956, an unknown street musician named "One String" Sam Wilson walked into Joe’s Record Shop on Hastings Street in Detroit, carrying a plank of wood containing a single string. The shop also had a recording studio in the back, and Sam proceeded to record two songs on his diddley bow, “I Need a Hundred Dollars” and “My Baby Ooh.”

lyrics

I woke up this morning
to no coffee in the pot.
One broken cigarette
is all that I got.

Oh I need a hundred dollars! x3
Then I will be on my way!

I woke up this morning
with no weed in my stash.
I'm broke and i'm hungry
and I need some cash.

Oh I need a hundred dollars! x3
Then I will be on my way!

I woke up this morning
and my bike had a flat,
so i'm strumming on this string
and holding out my hat.

Oh I need a hundred dollars! x3
Then I will be on my way!

I woke up this morning
with no weed in my stash.
I'm broke and i'm hungry
and I need some cash.
