Empty Pocket Blues Songtext

Empty Pocket Blues Songtext
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
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
