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. [Bridge:] Oh, money, money, money, money When will I make the grade? I'm so broke that a dollar bill Looks big as a window shade. 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, Those empty pockets blues
