| One, two, three, four
|
| One, two, three, four
|
| (CHORUS)
|
| I got a humpack mule
|
| A plow, and a tater patch
|
| Eggs that are gonna hatch someday
|
| I got my Lord above and
|
| A good girl to love me
|
| I’m the richest man in the world
|
| Thank you, thank you, Lord above
|
| For smiling down on me
|
| I’m richer now than any man
|
| Has any right to be Health and love and happiness
|
| Have been my cup of tea
|
| The richest man in all creation
|
| Surely, it is me
|
| (CHORUS)
|
| I’ve got water in my well
|
| And heaven in my heart
|
| I have a perfect woman
|
| I can trust when we’re apart
|
| Cash enough to see a show
|
| And eat out now and then
|
| A roof, a bed, a fishing pole
|
| And folks who call me friend
|
| (CHORUS)
|
| I don’t have bank account
|
| My cash on hand is small
|
| But tell me, what are riches
|
| But contentment after all
|
| Other folks may think I’m poor
|
| But I know it’s not so Cause when I count my blessings
|
| I’m the richest man I know
|
| (CHORUS)
|
| Now the rich folks talk
|
| About the grub they eat
|
| Now I’ve got all those
|
| Rich folks beat
|
| Cause I’ve got a Field of yellow yams
|
| And a smokehouse filled
|
| With country hams
|
| Talk to me about caviar
|
| They ain’t nothing but
|
| Fish eggs packed in a jar
|
| I got a whole pond
|
| Of big, round trout
|
| Fish eggs, what are
|
| They talking about
|
| I got no fancy swimming pool
|
| But the creek in the woods
|
| Is deep and cool
|
| I’m a lucky man
|
| I’m a lucky fool
|
| I’m wealthy, I’m wealthy
|
| (CHORUS) 2X |
