guitarstrummer Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Does anyone happen to have the chords for "The Salvation Army Song" (aka put a nickel on the drum)? A friend of mine requested that we play it at a recent party, but no one knew the lyrics or the chords. I think I managed to locate the lyrics since then, but can't find the chords anywhere.

Gilliangirl Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 If no one has it, and you can send me an mp3 of it, I can probably figure it out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieDean Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I managed to find the Salvation Army Songbook in Word format (lyrics only)....800+ pages, but didn't find the word "nickel" in the whole document. e-mail me if it's of any interest to you. It's only 300kb or so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lyin' in the gutter, all covered up with beer! Pretzels in my eyebrows, I knew the end was near, When along come the Salvation Army (meaning Fremont) and saved me from the hearse. Everybody come along, let's sing that second verse: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Put a nickel on the drum, save another drunken bum! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Put a nickel on the drum and you'll be saved! Oh, G-L-O-R-Y, to be S-A-V-E-D! I'm so H-A-P-P-Y that I'm F-R-double-E (hee-hee!)! F-R-double-E from the ways of S-I-N! Glory, glory, hallelujah, tra-la-la-l'-amen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Put a nickel on the drum, save another drunken bum! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Put a nickel on the drum and you'll be saved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWilson Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think my dear mother used to sing that song to me when I was in college! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieDean Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Still haven't found the music, BUT...... it is apparently a parody of a Salvation Army hymn, and was put on vinyl in 1963 by Judy Henske...if ya want it enough to buy it......
