Charley, the line in that song "And that's where my money went" caused a song to pop into my head that I learned decades ago in junior high school music class:

That's where my money goes
To buy my baby's clothes
I buy her everything
to keep her in style.
She's worth her weight in gold
My lovely la-a-dy.
Hey, boys, that's where my money goes.

I don't know the name or the composer of this song. When I tried to search for it online, I found this song:

THAT'S WHERE MY MONEY GOES

Recorded by: Webb Pierce; Mel Tillis.


Oh boy that's where my money goes
I've got a gal in Monroeville she won't dance but her sister will
Oh boy that's where my money goes
And I've got a gal out in Florida she won't swing but the show will sway
Oh boy that's where my money goes
Work my fingers to the bone so I can take more dollars home
Workin' over time at the mill turn the pay for my baby's bills
My gal wears fancy clothes red tall shoes and rolldown hose
Oh boy that's where my money goes

[ trumpet ]

My gal drives a limousine and you know who buys the gasoline
Oh boy that's where my money goes
My gal lives like a movie star pink champaigne and caviar
Oh boy that's where my money goes
Work my fingers to the bone...
Oh boy that's where my money goes

I'm not sure if that song and the one I remember are related. I guess it's possible that my music teacher changed some of the words to that song so that the song would be more suitable for pre-teenagers. Does anyone know either of these songs, and do you think the one I remember comes from the other song?

And, for what it's worth, there's a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that is named "Monroeville". But I'm not sure if that's the Monroeville that is mentioned in that song, as there probably are a lot of Monroevilles in the USA.
