Hangin’ On to What I Got Songtext
von Buck Owens

Well, everybody got something on their mind
That they like to talk about
Well, I got something that I′m proud of
And it's a-worth shoutin′ about

Oh well, I don't want a string of big fine cars
And I don't own a fancy yacht
Well, I′m a-tellin′ you that I'm a happy man
And I′m a-hangin' on to what I got

I got a girl with two brown eyes
And arms to hold me tight
And I don′t care if the sun don't shine
And daylight turns to night

Well, if a dollar bill is not worth a dime
And if the whole world goes to pot
Well, I′m a-tellin' you that I'm a happy man
And I′m a-hangin′ on to what I got


Well, I'll not worry about the world
And what it′s a-comin' to
Or if old Lady Jones has got a new hat
Or if the browns had turned to blue

Well, if the London Bridge is a-fallin′ down
Or if old Big Ben has stopped
Well, I'm a-tellin′ you that I'm a happy man
And I'm a-hangin′ on to what I got

I got a girl with two brown eyes
And arms to hold me tight
And I don′t care if the sun don't shine
Or daylight turns to night

Well, if a dollar bill is not worth a dime
And if the whole world goes to pot
Well, I′m a-tellin' you that I′m a happy man
And I'm a-hangin′ on to what I got

Well, I'm a-tellin' you that I′m a happy man
And I′m a-hangin' on to what I got
