1
I never had a pocket full of money
2
I never had a ruby red ring
3
All I ever had was you, babe
4
To sit and listen to me sing
5
I got the blues
6
The empty pocket blues
7
And I never had a barrel full of money
8
Never had a big Cadillac
9
All I ever had was you, babe
10
And that's a fact
11
I got the blues
12
The empty pocket blues
13
Some people got barrels of money
14
Bushels of ruby red rings
15
But they ain't got a man like mine
16
And they don't know how to sing
17
I got the blues
18
The empty pocket blues
19
Now some say the blues are sorrowful
20
Some say the blues are sad
21
But when I sing the blues to you
22
They come out feelin' glad
23
I got the blues
24
The empty pocket blues
25
Now don't put your money in a barrel
26
Don't waste it on a ruby red ring
27
Give it all to your own little girl
28
To fix your dinner while you sing
29
I got the blues
30
The empty pocket blues
31
I got the blues
32
The empty pocket blues
