Money, Marbles, and Chalk lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
While you were near me
I was happy and gay
Your presence made me feel so proud
But you left me for another
For another one day
Now I feel alone in a crowd

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
The money, marbles, and chalk is all right
To misers who love only gold
But give me a chance
To save our romance
For I love you with all of my soul

[Chorus]
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
