  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...
  [ steel ]
  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...

  JD,

  I love Ferlin Husky songs along with other REAL country artists of his time period.

  Since You've Gone is probably my favorite. Wings Of A Dove is another one.

  Thanks for jogging my ageing mind into thinking about what real country music is about.

  Big wind's a comin' listen to the hummin' hurry kids be quick don't stall
  Big wind's a comin' listen to the hummin' if we don't hurry it'll ge us all
  
  From daylight to dusk we've been a workin' in the dust
  Pickin' cotton workin' side by side
  Now I can't forget yes I remember yet the way dad looked at me and he cried
  Big wind's a comin'...
  
  So scared my lips were scaled I ran across the field
  To warn my mom to storm was on its way
  I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mommy's face
  She turned away and I could hear her say
  Big wind's a comin'...
  
  My dad was in the cellar and by now the sky was yellow
  The wind's so strong the trees were fallin'
  Outside I heard him cryin' as he lay there dyin' I can still hear my daddy callin'
  Big wind's a comin'...
  Big wind big wind big wind
