Never had a barrel full of money,
Never had a ruby red ring,
All I ever had was you, dear,
To sit and listen to me sing.
I've got the blues,
The empty pockets blues.

Some folks they got barrels full of money,
Drive around in a big Cadillac.
All I ever had was you, dear,
To sit around and scratch my back.
I've got the blues,
The empty pockets blues.

Some say the blues are sorrowful,
Some say the blues are sad.
Every time I sing the blues to you,
They come out feeling glad.
I've got the blues,
The empty pockets blues.

Money, money, money,
When will I make the grade?
I'm so broke that a dollar bill,
Looks as big as a window shave.
So don't waist your money on a ruby red ring,
Don't waist it on a big Cadillac.
Give it all to your own little girl,
to fix your dinner and scratch your back.
I've got the blues,
The empty pockets blues.
