Both Arlene McLellan (Don't You Dare Put A Quarter In The Jukebox) and

THREE-CHORD COUNTRY SONG
Red Steagall
4/4; about 170 beats per minute
(Verse 1)
DONâT YOU DARE PUT A QUARTER IN THE JUKE BOX
IF YOU DONâT INTEND TO PLAY A COUNTRY SONG
WHEN YOU PUNCH THOSE BUTTONS JUST MAKE SURE
ITâS MERLE OR MOE OR WILLIE
SOMEONE THAT I CAN CRY WITH ALL NIGHT LONG
(Chorus)
ITâS NOT THAT I DONâT LIKE THE JAZZ ON BOURBON STREET
AND ITâS NOT THAT I DONâT CARE FOR ROCK & ROLL
BUT TONIGHT IâM 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 KEYâS IN THE MAIL BOX
PAINTS A PICTURE IN MY MIND
CAUSE I KEEP HOPING SHEâLL COME BACK TO ME
