I never had a pocket full of money |
|
I never had a ruby red ring |
|
All I ever had was you, babe |
|
To sit and listen to me sing |
|
I got the blues |
|
The empty pocket blues |
|
And I never had a barrel full of money |
|
Never had a big Cadillac |
|
All I ever had was you, babe |
|
And that's a fact |
|
I got the blues |
|
The empty pocket blues |
|
Some people got barrels of money |
|
Bushels of ruby red rings |
|
But they ain't got a man like mine |
|
And they don't know how to sing |
|
I got the blues |
|
The empty pocket blues |
|
Now some say the blues are sorrowful |
|
Some say the blues are sad |
|
But when I sing the blues to you |
|
They come out feelin' glad |
|
I got the blues |
|
The empty pocket blues |
|
Now don't put your money in a barrel |
|
Don't waste it on a ruby red ring |
|
Give it all to your own little girl |
|
To fix your dinner while you sing |
|
I got the blues |
|
The empty pocket blues |
|
I got the blues |
|
The empty pocket blues |
