Money McGillicutty

Money Mcgillicutty
 Trained in the art of animal husbandry
 Carried a balpene hammer and a bag of fine cutlery
 Wore an old rosary was a gift from the nunnery
 Sight of a cripple always made her go rubbery
 Never blessed at birth with no semblance of subtlety
 Ran away from Tennessee at the age of seventeen
 Swore she was descended from Robert E. Lee

 Go and tell everybody
 Ain't got looks and she ain't got charm
 She never meant nobody no harm

 Diamond Jim went in for bootlegging
 Did a bid down Baltimore on 5 to 10
 Got out in 7 and probation
 Let him out on November 10
 First thing he did was bump the stooge that put him in
 Went underground with two Costaricans
 Spend all his time just memorizing
 The last books of the bible called Revelations
 Money Money ...
 Money met Jim at the bottom of a bottle of Gin
 Louisiana bar cross from a police station
 Double crossed by the Costaricans
 On about a pound and a half of heroin
 Money and Jim got drunk as sin
 Jim didn't know what kind of trouble he was in
 Little after midnight the cops busted in
 With itchy trigger fingers looking for Diamond Jim
 Money Money...
 When the cops pulled their guns Jim thought he was done
 But Money just laughed at the situation
 Threw a bottle cross the bar hit a cop in the head
 Two shots went off and the floor went red
 Jim pulled money out from under a table
 Got out the back door as fast as they were able
 Hot wired a Buick and headed for Texas
 Got married on the way with nobody to bless it
 Money Money...
 Couple of months and the bottom dropped out
 Money got drunk and punched Jim in the mouth
 Took the keys to the car, set fire to the house
 Jim went south, but the cops picked him out
 Diamond Jim went on back to jail
 Money didn't care enough to throw his bail
 So he's rotting there in Joaquina still
 And Money she just cries and wails
 Money she just cries and wails
 Money Money

 Go and tell everybody
 Ain't got looks well she ain't got charm
 She never meant nobody no harm
