Money Greases The Wheels

(album: Ferlin Husky Sings The Songs Of Music City, U.S.A. - 1966)

There's a whole lot of talk about loving but let me tell you how I feel
Loving may keep this old world turning but money greases the wheels
I said the money greases the wheel

Well, one time these two brothers were floating down the river on a raft
One brother fell in the water the other brother ah he just laughed
And said I'll save you for a dollar and a half

Well, there's a whole lot of talk about loving but let me tell you how I feel
Loving may keep this old world turning but money greases the wheels
I said the money greases the wheel

Well, a long time ago this outlaw he robbed and killed and stole
His girlfriend heard about a reward she went to the sheriff and told
And got ten thousand dollars in gold

Well, there's a whole lot of talk about loving but let me tell you how I feel
Loving may keep this old world turning but money greases the wheels
I said the money greases the wheel

Well, one time in Las Vegas a gambler was shooting craps
He lost all his money and his baby but when he won his money back
He got ten new babies on his lap

Well, there's a whole lot of talk about loving but let me tell you how I feel
Loving may keep this old world turning but money greases the wheels
I said the money greases the wheel

Well, there's a whole lot of talk about loving but let me tell you how I feel
Loving may keep this old world turning but money greases the wheels
I said the money greases the wheel
