The Egg Money
Susan Werner
He wore a F#m straw hat on his A head
7m. 7. 1 1 1 1 3m
And a F#m tomcat on his A smile
7m. 7. 1 1 1 1 3m.
I told him he should F#m understand A this
7m. 7. 1 1 1 1 3m
Before he F#m walk me down the A aisle
7m. 7. 1 1 1 1 3m.
You can have the F#m money from the A goats,
7m. 7m. 7. 7. 1 1 1 1 3m
the B money from the A cow
1 4 4 4 4 4-3m
The F#m money from the A oats
1 1 1 1 1 3m
and the B money from the F#m sow.
4 3m 5 5 5 5-4-3m
E But don't you ever touch the F#m egg money.
7m. 7m. 7. 7. 1 7. 3m 1 3m
B That's A crossing the F#m line
4 3m 1 1 1
Don't you ever touch the egg money.
7m. 7m. 7. 7. 1 7. 3m 1 3m
The B egg A money is F#m mine.
3m 4 3m 3m 1 1
We had F#m seven good A years,
Then the F#m trouble all be-A-gan
First he started F#m nipping at the A gin,
Then he started F#m seeing Mari-A-anne
Then he started F#m gambling A dice
lost the B horses and the A cow
I F#m looked behind the A stove,
there was B nothing there F#m now.
E He had taken all the F#m egg money, B that's A crossing the F#m line.
Don't you ever touch the egg money. The B egg A money is F#m mine.
B Leaving would have Dm been the thing to A do.

F#m But no one left in 192-Gm-2.
1 3m 3m 3m 3m 4 4 3m 2 2
So the F#m angel that I A am
Poured the F#m coffee in his A cup.
Served his toast with F#m butter and A jam.
And his eggs were F#m sunny side A up.
And the eggs were F#m maybe too B old,
and the eggs had F#m maybe gone B bad
Three days and the F#m body went B cold,
The doctors said it's F#m terribly B sad.
The F#m egg money, B that's A crossing the F#m line.
Don't you ever touch the egg money. The B egg A money is F#m mine.
