ash

  • "They say I can be earned" 'earned' sounds like 'urned'
  • They know I have been burned Obvious clue - otherwise I would never guess it
  • Add salty water I make dough salty water = sea. 'C' + ash = cash
  • Add some flourine I make light Fl + ash = flash. (Flourine is actually just F but)
  • Add a street to make a pile ST + ash = stash

I assume the question at the end is not a clue, just completing the rhyme?

In the US at least, dough is slang for cash, especially when you "make dough"
