Both Arlene McLellan (Don't You Dare Put A Quarter In The Jukebox) and
Lynda Jordyn asked for this song. Here's how I remember it. If anyone
needs it, an explanation of the Nashville Numbering System can be found

THREE-CHORD COUNTRY SONG
Red Steagall
4/4; about 170 beats per minute
(Verse 1)
DONāT YOU DARE PUT A QUARTER IN THE JUKE BOX
IF YOU DONāT INTEND TO PLAY A COUNTRY SONG
WHEN YOU PUNCH THOSE BUTTONS JUST MAKE SURE
ITāS MERLE OR MOE OR WILLIE
SOMEONE THAT I CAN CRY WITH ALL NIGHT LONG
(Chorus)
ITāS NOT THAT I DONāT LIKE THE JAZZ ON BOURBON STREET
AND ITāS NOT THAT I DONāT CARE FOR ROCK & ROLL
BUT TONIGHT IāM IN THE MOOD FOR COUNTRY MUSIC
JUST A HEART-BREAKING THREE-CHORD COUNTRY SONG
(Verse 2)
NO OTHER KIND OF MUSIC TELLS A STORY
LIKE LONESOME 7-7203
AND THE KEYāS IN THE MAIL BOX
PAINTS A PICTURE IN MY MIND
CAUSE I KEEP HOPING SHEāLL COME BACK TO ME
