None Of You Will Ever See A Penny Lyrics
Son, son, we've got to run away from inheritance
Son, son, I must allow you to learn of sustenance
None of you will ever see a penny
Of my ill-begotten wealth
Stick around
You will see a rich man cry
I wish, I wish for you a lifetime of labour
Hard days make peaceful nights
None of you will ever see a penny
Of my ill-begotten wealth
Stick around
You will see a rich man cry
Son, son, I must allow you to learn of sustenance
Of my ill-begotten wealth
Stick around
You will see a rich man cry
Hard days make peaceful nights
Of my ill-begotten wealth
Stick around
You will see a rich man cry

I see an old man dying, explaining to his children why they don't get any of his money.
Ill-begotten wealth?
I suppose the old, dying man amassed is fortune in an unhonest way. He now realizes his sins and refuses his family to benefit from his wrongdoing.
The old man wants his family to lead honest lives.
"Ill-begotten wealth"
Sounds just like
"Ill-gotten gain"
