Money Blues

Some folks have lots of money, some haven't got a bean
Some folks have lots of money, some haven't got a bean
If you have no money, Baby, life can be awfully mean

It's only bits of paper, it seems to come and go
It's only bits of paper, it seems to come and go
If the rent don't come in, Baby, you go right out the door

When you've got money, Baby, people will buzz around
When you've got money, Baby, people will buzz around
When you're broke and busted, you are nowhere bound

I'm a good girl, Papa, hold my head up high
I'm a good girl, Papa, hold my head up high
But what do I do when I see the money rolling by

I worked for my living since I was two or three
I worked for my living since I was two or three
Worked for my living, somebody's working me

I like to think of heaven, like the good book say
I like to think of heaven, like the good book say
If I don't think of money, I can't get through this day

Well, some day I'll make it, fill that inside straight
Well, some day I'll make it, fill that inside straight
That's the day you'll see me walking through the pearly gate
