I’m Poor as a Beggar Songtext
von The Del McCoury Band

In this world I have nothing
Not a cent to my name
Not a thing to depend on
No fortune or fame
But if faith in my Savior
Really means anything
I′m as poor as a beggar
But I'm rich as a king


I′m as poor as a beggar
But I'm rich as a king
I sit on those treasures
But they don't mean a thing
On these rags to these riches
I truly can sing
I′m as poor as a beggar
But I′m rich as a king

Many times I'm discouraged
But I just don′t know why
I've gotta thee to mention
Way up in the sky
When my burden goes heavy
I just look up and sing
I′m as poor as a beggar
But I'm rich as a king


I′m as poor as a beggar
But I'm rich as a king
I sit on those treasures
But they don't mean a thing
On these rags to these riches
I truly can sing
I′m as poor as a beggar
But I′m rich as a king
