Richest Man (In the World)

One, two, three, four.



I got a hump back mule, a plow and a 'tater patch

Eggs that are gonna hatch someday.

I got the 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 envies me.



I got a hump back mule, a plow and a 'tater patch

Eggs that are gonna hatch someday.

I got the 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 that call me friend.



I got a hump back mule, a plow and a 'tater patch

Eggs that are gonna hatch someday.

I got the 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 hump back mule, a plow and a 'tater patch

Eggs that are gonna hatch someday.

I got the Lord above and a good girl to love me

I'm the richest man in the world.



Now the rich folks talk about the grub they eat

Now I've got all of those rich folks beat

'Cause I've got a field of yellow yams,

A smoke house filled with country hams.



Talk to me about caviar,

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

I got whole pond of big brown trout,

Fish eggs a what're they talkin' about?



I ain't got no fancy swimming pool

But the creek in the woods is deep and cool

I am a lucky man.

I'm a lucky fool.



I'm wealthy! I'm wealthy!



I got a hump back mule, a plow and a 'tater patch

Eggs that are gonna hatch someday.

I got the Lord above and a good girl to love me

I'm the richest man in the world.



I got a hump back mule, a plow and a 'tater patch

Eggs that are gonna hatch someday.

I got the Lord above and a good girl to love me

I'm the richest man in the world...
