People sure act funny
When they get a little money
Yes, they do, y`all
Sure act funny when
They get a little money
Yes, they do, y`all

I knowed you when lived in a hut
You made your living
From the cane you cut
Now you`re living on easy street
You passed me by and
You don`t wanna speak

People sure do holler
When they get on to a dollar
Yes, they do, y`all
Sure do holler when
They get on to a dollar
Yes, they do, man

I knowed you when
You didn`t have no shoes
Your whole family
Sang the lonely blues

Now you`re grinning
Like a Cheshire cat
You`re?, big and fat

People sure do squeal
When they get a dollar bill
Yes, they do, man
Sure do squeal when
They get a dollar bill
Yes, they do, y`all

I knowed you when
You were my kin
I stuck to you through
The thick and thin

You were the mother
Who put me out?
I`m here to tell you
Change and turn around

People sure act mean when
They get a mess of green
Yes, they do, man
Sure act mean when
They get a mess of green
Yes, they do, man

I knowed you when you
Didn`t have a dime
We`d be together all the time
Now that you are big enough
You can`t be found nowhere

People sure act funny
When they get a little money
Yes, they do, y`all
Sure act funny, man
When they get some money

I`m gonna get outta this town
And find me some money
What about you, man

Everybody sure act funny
When they get a little money...
