A Fool and His Money

A fool and his money

they say are soon parted

but that is'nt me

i'm just so good hearted

This morning she called me

at Three Twenty Five

her Mother was sick

and might not survive

"Send money now"

she pleaded through tears

I said that i would

to allay all her fears

"Is Ten Thousand enough"?

i asked to be sure

she said "make it Twenty

you know i so poor"



The girl that i love

has so much bad luck

last month her father

was hit by a truck

I sent what i could

and wished the man well

i think he's okay

but you never can tell

When the buffalo died

she called me and cried

Western Union she thought

would be best

I sent a months pay

the very next day

she said she would wait

for the rest



My friend said he saw her

with a handsome young guy

all decked out in gold

on a new motosai

I know it's not true

what on earth was he thinking ?

between me and you

i think he'd been drinking



I know that she's waiting

to see me again

she say's that i'm not

like most other men

I was hoping to see her

sometime in July

but i'm working all hours

just to get by



A fool and his money

well that is'nt me

like the girl said

I have "too much jai dee"
