Empty Pocket Blues

I never had a pocket full of money

I never had a ruby red ring

All I ever had was you, baby

Sit and listen to me sing

I've got the blues

The empty pocket blues

I never had a barrel of money

Never had a big Cadillac

All I ever had was you, baby

You know that's a fact

I've 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've got the blues

The empty pocket blues

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've got the blues

The empty pocket blues

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

She'll fix you dinner while you sing

I've got the blues

The empty pocket blues

I've got the blues
