She’s Got the Money, Too
I’m just as fond of beauty, as anyone can be,
For them rosy cheeks and pearly teeth, I dearly love to see.
For I know one that has them, except me and you,
Lord, she is the sweetest girly and she’s got the money, too.
Now, won’t I love my honey (Lord, yes)
And won’t I spend her money, (Ain’t I mean?)
I’m as happy as a flower that sips the fallen dew,
For I know a little girly and she’s got the money, too.
She takes me out a’ridin’ whenever she comes down,
She owns the finest Cadillac and Buick in the town.
She told me that she loves me, oh listen, wouldn’t you?
Oh, she is the sweetest girly and she’s got the money, too.
I asked her a question, if she would be my bride.
She said, “You are the sweetest boy that ever lived or done.”
I told her that I meaned it, she said she did too.
She is the sweetest girly and she’s got the money, too.
