Money Marbles And Chalk Lyrics - Jimmy Dean

Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart 

But I still feel like I'm poor 

'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll 

And my chalk, it don't write anymore 

Now 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 

Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart 

But I still feel like I'm poor 

'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll 

And my chalk, it don't write anymore 

While you were near me I was happy and gay 

Your presence made me feel so proud 

But now that you left me, it's a lonely old world 

And I feel I'm alone in a crowd 

Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart 

But I still feel like I'm poor 

'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll 

And my chalk, it don't write anymore 

Now the money and marbles and chalk are just fine 

For a miser who loves only gold 

But just give me a chance to say our romance 

'Cause I love you with all of my soul 

Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart 

But I still feel like I'm poor 

'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll 

And my chalk, it don't write anymore 

Now everybody 

Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart 

But I still feel like I'm poor 

'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll 

And my chalk, it don't write anymore
