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've got those blues Those empty pockets blues I never had a pocket full of money I never had a big Cadillac All I ever had was you, babe And that's a fact I've got those blues Those empty pockets blues Oh, money, money, money, When will I make the grade? I'm so broke that a dollar bill Looks big as a window shade Some people got barrels of money And bushels of ruby red rings But they ain't got a little girl like mine And they don't know how to sing. I've got those blues, The empty pocket's 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 feeling glad I've got those blues The empty pockets blues Now, don't put your money in the barel, Don't waste it on the ruby red rings Give it all to your own little girl To picture diner pale and sing I've got the blues The empty pocket blues. Oh, money, money, money, When will I make the grade? I'm so broke that a dollar bill Looks big as a window shade. Some people got barrels of money They've got bushels of ruby red rings But they ain't got a little girl like mine And they don't know how to sing. I've got those blues, The empty pocket's blues. I've got those blues, The empty pocket's blues.
