Folding Money

When I was just a boy, my granddaddy took me to town one afternoon
He drove an LTD, wore a big white Stetson, and two-tone cowboy boots
He said son «Here goes» and handed me a twenty just to see the look on my face
Em n/c B7 (ring)
He said, «Don't tell your mama nothin' about it, don’t spend it all in one
place.»
Chorus I
You see it takes foldin' money to get the deal done
Foldin' money to have a little fun
Foldin' money to pay a few bills
Eat a steak dinner, and cure a couple ills
Foldin' money, you need a little stash
Some greenback dollars and cold hard cash
Save it for a rainy day or go away a little bit, son
It takes foldin' money… to get the deal done
Ever since the day I learned to earn a dollar I’ve been taking his advice to
heart
'Cause when a man finds the courage to keep his cash, some romance is bound to
start
Now romance is just like money… you can always get more if you’ve got it
And let me tell you friends, I’m a lot more handsome with a C note in my pocket
Chorus II
You see it takes foldin' money to get the deal done
Foldin' money to have a little fun
Foldin' money to pay a few bills
Make a girl dance, and cure a couple ills
Foldin' money, you need a little stash
Some greenback dollars and cold hard cash
Save it for a rainy day or go away a little bit, son
It takes foldin' money… to get the deal done
Bass Solo
It’s a pain in the back, it’s a cold hard fact, gets to everybody sooner or
later
You can give it to a charity and in some disparity, stock up your refrigerator
Couldn’t marry it or date it, it’ll kill you if you let it, you can blow it
with nothing to show
It will make your wallet fatter, but the truth of the matter’s can’t take it
with you when you go
Chorus III
You see it takes foldin' money to get the deal done
Foldin' money to have a little fun
Foldin' money to pay a few bills
Spread a little 'round, and cure a couple ills
Foldin' money, you need a little stash
Some greenback dollars and cold hard cash
Save it for a rainy day or go away a little bit, son
It takes foldin' money… to get the deal done
