Root Of All Evil
Recorded by Jean Shepard
Written by Jeri Jones

G                                C
You've heard that old story ever since time began
     G                    D7
That money is root of all evil     
     G                              C
Well let me tell you mine it's much older than time
        G           D7        G
For the root of all evil is a man

        C                               G
They'll tell you that they love you and will until they die
    A7
But you'll find them out with someone else
           D7
Before the ink on the licenses is dry
   G                             C
So girls take my advice think it over once or twice
        G           D7        G
For the root of all evil is a man

                                  C
Sure there's honky tonk girls but before you condemn
    G                              D7
And look at her with scorn in your eyes
     G                                  C
Give her just a friendly smile hear her troubles for a while
        G            D7            G
For the cause of her trouble was a man
