It was early in the morning when the battle horse arrived.
A#m Fm C# F#
And he embraced Sarah, who was the bride of his old age
A#m Fm C# F#
And Sarah hugged Billy, who was born of her sweet, sweet womb
C# F#
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C# F#
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C# F#
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C# Fm
Until I've got money in my hand...
A#m Fm C# F#
It was silence that begot them, the purpose of their ways
A#m Fm C# F#
Lord, the Father, the Beggar, with his two, two hands
A#m Fm C# F#
From that time, the post will pull, and push against the sky
A#m Fm C# F#
But, oh baby, baby I know, I know that the night's too slow,
C# F#
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C# F#
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C# F#
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C# Fm
'Til I've got money in my hand,
C# Fm
'Til I've got money in my hand,
C# Fm
'Til I've got money in my hand,
C# Fm
'Til I've got money in my hand,
C# Fm
Oh I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
C# Fm
I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
C# Fm
I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
C# Fm
But it don't mean nothing man, nothing man, until you got some money in your hand,
Oh oh...
C# Fm
(till the end)
