Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Sittin’ in the sun, countin’ my money
Fanned by a summer breeze
Sweeter than honey is countin’ my money
Those greenbacks on the trees
Comes a summer show’r, drops o’ rain falling
Sweeter than Christmas chimes
Hearing those jingles upon the roof shingles
Like pennies, nickels and dimes
Tho’ it’s known that all I own
Is not a large amount
Fields of gold that I behold
Are in my bank account
Sittin’ in the sun, countin’ my money
Happy as I can be
And to top it all when shadows fall
I look to heaven and I see
There’s a silver dollar in the sky
Shining down on me
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
