Bluegrass Songs - Money marbles and chalk

Money, marbles and chalk

There's an old saying that's been all around
I heard before I could walk
How somes got wealth and some's got health
Other's money, marbles and chalk

    I've got money, marbles and chalk sweetheart
    But I still feel like I am poor
    For my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
    And my chalk won't anymore

While you were here I was happy and gay
Your presence made me for another one day
But you left me for another one day
Now I feel so alone in a crowd

  * Refrain

Money, marbles and chalk is alright
For a miser who loves only gold
But give me a chance to save our romance
For I love you with all of my soul

  * Refrain
