Money, marbles and chalk

Here's a beautiful oldie, a rather rare piece by Patti Page entitled "Money, marbles and chalk", the music-video courtesy of "2uok". TQ "2uok" for sharing.

Indeed, memories are made of these. Enjoy and sing along with the lyrics which I have provided below.

Music and songs are good for the body and soul. Cheers!



Money, marbles and chalk (Lyrics):

"There's an old saying that's been all around
I heard it before I could walk;
How some's got health and some's got wealth,
others, money marbles and chalk.

I got money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
but I still feel like I am poor;
’Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
and my chalk won't ride anymore.

While you were near I was happy and gay
your presence made me feel so proud;
But you left me for another one day
now I feel alone in a crowd.

I got money marbles and chalk...

The money marbles and chalk is all right
to misers who love only gold;
But give me a chance to save our romance
for I love you with all of my soul.

I got money marbles and chalk..."
