Money Ain`t Everything Let`s go to Louisiana, boys Way down in Louisiana Where the moss and cypress grew You`d find old Jack in a shotgun shack In the back of the black bayou Some folks called him crazy But I knew better than that He kept a hundred dollar bill Tucked away in the brim Of his dirty old cowboy hat Jack told me a story When I was ten years old He said, `There was once a fool Tried to swim this swamp With his back weighted down with gold` He said, `You should`ve seen that alligator smile He had a meal fit for a king But he ened up on my table son Money ain`t everything` He said, `There`s only one way into this world And one way out it`s true You either eat the alligator Or he`s gonna eat you` `There`s people livin` in a high-rise That`ll never hear a robin sing What good is first place When you`re in a rat race Money ain`t everything` Little Maggie May was dying Her heart was about to go When her daddy found a sack On the porch out back With half a million dollars in gold But they still talk about the stranger Who saved her life that spring No name on the note But someone wrote Money ain`t everything He said, `There`s only one way into this world And one way out it`s true You either eat the alligator Or he`s gonna eat you` `There`s people livin` in a high-rise That`ll never hear a robin sing What good is first place When you`re in a rat race Money ain`t everything` No name on the note But I know who wrote Money ain`t everything | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
