Lyrics Rich Man Blues - Dinah Washington

Rich Man Blues

I wanna rich man;
all you poor men have got to go
Yes, I wanna rich man;
all you poor men have got to go
I want my breakfast in bed and a butler to open my door
He must have everything I need, plus that good old jelly roll
Yes, he must have everything I need, plus that good old jelly roll
He’s got to have furs and diamond rings to satisfy my soul
I want to travel abroad, see Cuba and Spain
Don’t want to go in a car, but on jet-propelled plane
That’s why he’s gotta be rich;
all you poor men have got to go
Must have everything I want;
yes, that includes his gold
Girls, if you’ve got a rich man, you’d better chain him to your side
Yes, if you’ve got a rich man, you’d better chain him to your side
'Cause if he ever flags this train, I’m sure going to let him ride
