THE GREEN BLUES (© April Hobart)

The root of all evil doesn't grow on trees
The root of all evil doesn't grow on trees
You're lookin' like a million, can you spare a dime for me?

Cause I'm a dollar short, a day behind my game
A dollar short, a day behind my game
Like any other fool, not a penny to my name

If I earned me a nickel for every song I play
If I earned a nickel for every song I play
I'd still be singing for my supper, saving for a rainy day

I gave my man a penny for his thoughts
I gave my man a penny for his thoughts
He gave me 2 cents change and told me to get lost

The root of all evil doesn't grow on trees
The root of all evil doesn't grow on trees
You're lookin' like a million, can you spare a dime for me?
