lyrics

I
Piles of dirty money
Stacked fat and deep and high
Deliver up the needle
We'll run ‘em through the eye

Some folks got all that money
Don't do 'em no good at all
They still sleeping in the kitchen
With their feet out in the hall

I cloudy up my thoughts
On Heaven’s penny rain
That money might be dirty
But I’ll take some just the same

II
Piles of dirty money
From the ceiling to the floor
Brambles, roots, and branches
Spilling upwards evermore

Some folks got all that money
And I just can’t imagine why
Some folks fear to smile
And other folks long to die

Save me for the rainy day
When Heaven’s pennies fall
That money might be dirty
But it sure beats none at all

III
Piles of dirty money
Spilling out into the streets
The mattress gets so lumpy
You can’t even fit the sheets

Some folks got all that money
It still can’t whet their appetite
And I got stones all in my passway
And my road seems dark as night

How I await that day
When Heaven’s pennies shine
That money might be dirty
But, I’d be glad to call it mine
