Money Honey (Ry Cooder)

Well, the landlord rang my frontdoor bell I let it rang for a long, long spell Went to the window, peeped through the blind Asked him to tell me what was on his mind He said, "Money honey, money honey, money honey If you wanna stay here with me" I was clean and screened and so hard pressed I called the woman that I loved the best Finally found my baby 'bout a quarter to three She said, "I'd like to know what you want with me" And I said, "Money honey, money honey, money honey If you wanna get along with me" Well, she screamed and said "What's wrong with you, from this day forth Our romance is through" I said, "Tell me baby, face to face How could another man take my place ?" She said, ""Money honey, money honey, money honey If you wanna get along with me" I've learned a lesson and now I know Sun may shine, wind may blow Women may come and women may go But before I tell 'em that I love 'em so I want "Money honey, money honey, money honey If you wanna get along with me"
