If You Got the Money (I Got the Time)

George Jones · Cup of Loneliness: The Classic Mercury Years [1994]

(Lefty Frizzell - Jim Beck)



If you've got the money, I've got the time

We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time

We'll make all the night spots, dance, drink beer and dine

If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.



There ain't no use to tarry so let's start out tonight

We'll spread joy, oh boy, oh boy, and we'll spread it right

We'll have more fun, baby, all way down the line

If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.



If you've got the money, I've got the time

We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time

Bring along you cadillac, leave my old wreck behind

If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.



--- Instrumental ---



Yes, we'll go honky tonkin' make every club in town

We'll go to the park when it's dark, we won't fool around

But if you run short of money, well, I'll run short of time

'Cause you with no more money, honey, I've no more time.



If you've got the money, I've got the time

We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time

Bring along you cadillac, leave my old wreck behind

If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time...
