Richest Man (in The World)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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...

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...

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...

Now the rich folks talk about the grub they eat

Now I've got all those rich folks beat

Cause I've got a field of yellow yams

And a smokehouse filled with country hams

Talk to me about caviar

They ain't nothing but fish eggs packed in a jar

I got a whole pond of big round trout

Fish eggs what are they talking about

Hey I got no fancy swimming pool but the creek in the woods

Is deep and cool I'm a lucky man I'm a lucky fool

I'm wealthy I'm wealthy

I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch...

I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch...
