From the sheet music at Indiana University:


THAT'S WHERE MY MONEY GOES
Words by Walter Daniels; music by R. P. Lilly

1. Dick Davis ran a barber shop, the swellest in the town,
And shaved the aristocracy for many miles around.
He had ten men all hustling, and working round the place,
While money kept a-coming in from scraping ev'ry face;
But on one cloudy afternoon, his help went on a strike.
Said they, "Dick, where's our wages? Why don't you treat us right?
We've been a-working for you, yes, very near a year.
You say you have no money, Dick; where did it disappear?"

CHORUS: Why, boys, my money goes to dress my baby.
I buy her ev'rything to keep her in style.
She's worth her weight in gold, this colored* lady,
So, boys, that's where my money goes.

2. Now Dick, he is a worried man; the barbers want his life.
They just found where his money goes; he spends it on his wife.
The other day a dead swell girl came down the thoroughfare,
Which made a lot of sporty coons* all tip their hats and stare.
Just then Dick Davis walked around as proud as he could be,
And to them sporty niggers* said: "She belongs to me.
I bought that hat and diamond, and also all them clothes,
But now she's gone a-shopping, so that's where my money goes."
