Money Tree

Lyrics: S. Price; Music: S. Price and P. Ryan

Here I am and here I sit
Got my teeth clenched around
A green paper bit
Mighty dollar, that mighty dollar

Sitting on the grass
Laying on the bench
Like the sweet smell of a rose
Covered in garbage stench
Mighty dollar, that mighty dollar

When I went into the streets
Bumped into a man wantin' to meet and greet
Beggin' for a dollar
"Yeah brother can I borrow a nickel, a dime,
I haven't eaten in days,
Please help a brother out"

Plant the seed, hope it grows
Water, toil, hoe to and fro
Plant the seed, hope it grows
Water, toil, hoe to and fro

So when you go into the streets
Be sure to watch out for the people that you meet
Beggin' for a dollar
Mighty dollar, that mighty dollar

Plant the seed, hope it grows
Water, toil, hoe to and fro
Plant the seed, hope it grows
Water, toil, hoe to and fro

Yet no money tree do I sow
Yet no money tree do I sow
People don't you know
In the roads I go, they're not made of gold
You know they're not made of gold
