Empty Pocket Blues |
| 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 |
