Money, Marbles And Chalk

(앨범: This Is My Song - 1957)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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