Money Greases the Wheels - Lyrics - Ferlin Husky

Ferlin Eugene Husky was an early American country music singer who was equally adept at the genres of traditional honky-tonk, ballads, spoken recitations, and rockabilly pop tunes. He had two dozen Top 20 hits in the Billboard country charts between 1953 and 1975; his versatility and matinee-idol looks propelling a seven-decade entertainment career.

There's a whole lot of talk about loving but let me tell you how I feel Loving may keep this old world turning but money greases the wheels I said the money greases the wheel Well one time these two brothers were floatin' down the river on a raft One brother fell in the water the other brother ah he just laughed And said I'll save you for a dollar and a half Well there's a whole lot of talk... Well a long time ago this outlaw he robbed and killed and stole His girlfriend heard about a reward she went to the sheriff and told And got ten thousand dollars in gold Well there's a whole lot of talk... Well one time in Las Vegas a gambler was shootin' craps He lost all his money and his baby but when he won his money back He got ten new babies on his lap Well there's a whole lot of talk... Well there's a whole lot of talk...
