The God Almighty Dollar

The God Almighty Dollar

Once when I was very young
I was given a dollar
I spent it all on candy
And then began to holler

Momma tried to calm me
Kissing me,Hugging me
Leaving her warm scent on my collar
But I didn't want this
I wanted that God Almighty dollar

Now I'm older and I work hard for my money
I crave money dearly Like a bee does honey

But I can't keep it
So the bill collectors say
And they throw a big fit
If I don't send it their way

If I don't give in
They begin to holler
And I still end up without
That God Almighty dollar

Yes we all work so hard for the money it's hurts to see it go.
