Ferlin Husky Lyrics
"Money Greases the Wheels"

(Dallas Frazier)

There's a whole lot of talk about loving
But let me tell you how I feel
Loving may keep this old world turning
But money greases the wheels
I said the money greases the wheel.

Well, one time these two brothers
Were floatin' down the river on a raft
One brother fell in the water
The other brother, ah, he just laughed
And said, ''I'll save you for a dollar and a half.''

Well, there's a whole lot of talk about loving
But let me tell you how I feel
Loving may keep this old world turning
But money greases the wheels
I said the money greases the wheel.

Well, a long time ago this outlaw
He robbed and killed and stole
His girlfriend heard about a reward
She went to the sheriff and told
And got ten thousand dollars in gold.

Well, there's a whole lot of talk about loving
But let me tell you how I feel
Loving may keep this old world turning
But money greases the wheels
I said the money greases the wheel.

Well, one time in Las Vegas
A gambler was shootin' craps
He lost all his money and his baby
But when he won his money back
He got ten new babies on his lap.

Well, there's a whole lot of talk about loving
But let me tell you how I feel
Loving may keep this old world turning
But money greases the wheels
I said the money greases the wheel.

Well, there's a whole lot of talk about loving
But let me tell you how I feel
Loving may keep this old world turning
But money greases the wheels
I said the money greases the wheel...
