The Traditional Ballad Index's entry on "Money" has only one reference, Sandburg. So what we have is Sandburg's about black-faced banjoists on the wagons of medicine men singing a song with many verses, each followed by this chorus.

If you google "Money in the Milk in the cocoanut" it will pop up to a song by David Rawlings which starts off with the first two lines of this chorus and goes its own way. And that's what folk music is all about.
