It was early in the morning when the battle horse arrived.
Fm Cm G# C#
And he embraced Sarah, who was the bride of his old age
Fm Cm G# C#
And Sarah hugged Billy, who was born of her sweet, sweet womb

And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
G# C#
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
G# C#
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
G# Cm
Until I've got money in my hand...
Fm Cm G# C#

Fm Cm G# C#
Lord, the Father, the Beggar, with his two, two hands
Fm Cm G# C#

Fm Cm G# C#
But, oh baby, baby I know, I know that the night's too slow,

'Til I've got money in my hand,

'Til I've got money in my hand,

'Til I've got money in my hand,
G# Cm
Oh I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
G# Cm
I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
G# Cm
I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
G# Cm
But it don't mean nothing man, nothing man, until you got some money in your hand,
Oh oh...
