the highwaymen (folk) - one for the money lyrics

[intro]
(dave already told you that ann morrill’s husband is on the faculty at wesleyan
well, mayo muir’s husband is also a faculty member
at trinity college in hartford, connecticut
she’s playing a baritone ukulele which some folks consider sort of a pi instrument
but mayo makes it sound very pleasant)

[chorus]
one for the money
two for the show
three to get ready
and four to go
and four to go

[verse 1]
i have travelled all over this land
and one sad thing i do find
when the wide road calls you must leave friends and all
leaving a song behind for a while
leaving a song bеhind

[chorus]
one for the money, sing for a pеnny
two for the show, any song that i know
three to get ready, the wide road is pretty
and four to go, it’s been good to know you
and four to go, a long way to go
[verse 2]
some value money, and some value fame
some value women and wine
but a song and a friend ’round each turn of the bend
are riches i’d that rather were mine, anytime
riches i’d rather were mine

[chorus]
one for the money, sing for a penny
two for the show, any song that i know
three to get ready, the wide road is pretty
and four to go, been good to know you
and four to go, a long way to go

[verse 3]
when i am gone may my wish linger on
its echo fall soft on your ears
may your riches increase, and you all live in peace
and happiness grow every year, my friends
happiness grow every year

[chorus]
one for the money
two for the show
three to get ready, the wide road is pretty
and four to go, it’s been good to know you
and four to go, a long way to go
