Lyrics
MONEY TREE
Who chopped down my money tree
It’s not where it used to be
Nothin’ comes free to me
Who chopped down my money tree
Life was so good
Life was so fine
I really loved that girl
I would one day make her mine
She had other plans
She didn’t need another man
Left me alone to hold the phone
Holdin’ a losin’ hand
Who chopped down my money tree
It’s not where it used to be
Nothin’ comes free to me
Who chopped down my money tree
The lights went out today
The dog’s run away
The well went dry, Why even try
What more can I say
There’s a knock at the door
Tax man’s here for more
Car broke down, not goin’ to town
I’m just here lookin’ ‘round… For
Who chopped down my money tree
It’s not where it used to be
Nothin’ comes free to me
Who chopped down my money tree
They say money can talk
But it won’t listen to me
So I’ll just walk
Nothin’ comes for free
Boss man called today
The phone don’t work anyway
Now the job is gone, Can’t mow the lawn
Wonderin’ what the heck went wrong
Who chopped down my money tree
It’s not where it used to be
Nothin’ comes free to me
Who chopped down my money tree
