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 |
