paroles de chanson Empty Pocket Blues - The Weavers

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.
