Thread Name: Songs About Money
Subject: RE: Songs About Money
We ain't got a barrel of money
We may be ragged and funny
But rollin' along
Singing a song
Side by side...(OK. I see this was posted above...)

Two-dollar shoes hurt my feet
Two-dollar shoes hurt my feet
Ten-dollar shoes fits 'em neat
Lord lord
I ain't gonna be treated this-a way
Goin' down the road feeling bad....

Nanci Griffith has a song about
Love at the five and dime....

And in the Red Clay Ramblers' “Hot Buttered Rum” song:

"Dreary Christmas decorations, line the streets
And the filling stations, dime-store Santas can't
Disguise the empty hands the empty eyes..."

Malvina Reynolds song:

Love is like a magic penny,
Hold it and you don't have any
Lend it spend it and you'll have so many
They'll roll all over the floor
Love is something if you give it away,
Give it away, give it away,
You'll end up having more
