Money, Marbles, and Chalk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Money, Marbles, and Chalk" is a popular song, written by Garner "Pop" Eckler in 1949.

Eckler also recorded the song, but the biggest-selling version was recorded by Patti Page in 1949, and issued by Mercury Records as catalog number 5251. It entered the Billboard chart on April 23, 1949, at #27, lasting only that one week. [1] The song also spent a week on the Billboard country music chart, at position #15. Many other artists have recorded the song also.

"Money, Marbles & Chalk" has been recorded recently, June of 2006, by a group called "Pop's Boys". The group is made up of two of Garner Eckler's nephews, Greg Eckler and Mike Fletcher.
