The Richest Man Lyrics
The Richest Man - Eddy Arnold
I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch
Eggs that are gonna hatch someday
I got my Lord above
And a good girl to love me
I'm the richest man in the world
Thank you thank you Lord
Above for smiling down on me
I'm richer now than any man has any right to be
Health and love
And happiness have been my cup of tea
The richest man in all creation surely it is me
I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch
Eggs that are gonna hatch someday
I got my Lord above
And a good girl to love me
I'm the richest man in the world
I've got water in my well and heaven in my heart
I have a perfect woman I can trust when we're apart
Cash enough to see a show and eat out now and then
A roof a bed a fishing pole
And folks who call me friend
I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch
Eggs that are gonna hatch someday
I got my Lord above
And a good girl to love me
I'm the richest man in the world
I don't have much bank account my cash on hand is small
But tell me what are riches but contentment after all
Other folks may think I'm poor
But I know it's not so
Cause when I count my blessings I'm the richest man I know
I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch
Eggs that are gonna hatch someday
I got my Lord above
And a good girl to love me
And the richest man in the world
