The Richest Man

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
