Save Your Money

It’s a story and true one

that oft times has been told

Save your money when your young

You’ll need it when your old

Now if you are a married man

I’ll tell you what to do

Support your wife and little ones

As you have sworn to do

Stay away from the pubs and bars

where liquors bought and sold

It’s there you’ll spend your money boys

You’ll need it when you’re old

But if you are a single lad

Now here’s what you should do

Court and marry son pretty girl

Who you’ll find fair and true

Be well aware that she’ll play fair

And never let her go

Stick to her when you are young

You’ll need her when you’re old

Once I was a handy man

And quite a lively lad

I threw away my money

until no more I had

For now I’m old and feeble

I’m left out in the cold

I wished I saved my money

For I need it now I’m old
