Thread Name: Now when I had plenty of money
Subject: Now when I had plenty of money
I hope someone can help me. the new Chieftains recording "Old Plank Road" contains the following song:
Now when I had plenty of money, good people all my friends would gather around Just as soon as my pocket book was empty not a friend on this earth to be found
Now my money taught me of plenty good people and my papa taught me more He said, if you don't quit your rough & wild ways there'll be trouble at your door
All around this old jailhouse there's plenty good people $20 won't pay my fine For Liquor has surrounded my body pretty women jump in my mind Now if you don't quit your drinkin' some day you'll be just like me Workin' out your livin' in a penitentary
Now when I am dead & buried, good people and my pale face turns to the sun You can gather around all your fine friends and see This Old Rounder do down
I have this song on another recording but I can't figure out which of my CDs has it on it (I have nearly 700 CDS). Anyone know what recordings it might be on?
