Artist/Band: Kitty Wells
Lyrics for Song: I Don't Want Your Money, I Want Your Time
Lyrics for Album: Essential Recordings [2011]



(Lee Washington, Red Wortham)



I don't want your money, honey

I just want your time

A kiss that's bought with gifts and gold

Just isn't worth a dime.



Don't offer me a string of pearls

Or a penthouse so sublime

I don't want your money, honey

I just want your time.



I don't want your money, honey

I just want your time

The two of us, will ride the bus

And up to the moon we'll climb.



You can't buy a single kiss

As long as they are mine

'Cause I don't want your money, honey

I just want your time.



I don't want your money, honey

I just want your time

Tho' I have a fling won't cost a thing

No worries on our mind.



Don't want a great big diamond ring

'Cause I'm just not that kind

I don't want your money, honey

I just want your time...


I Don't Want Your Money, I Want Your Time

Recorded in 1956, this track by Kitty Wells stands as a pivotal moment in country music history, marking her transition from a novelty act to a serious country star. The song, written by George and Ira Gershwin, was originally a jazz standard that Wells reimagined with her signature twang, delivering a poignant message about valuing emotional connection over material wealth. Her performance on the recording showcases her unique vocal style and solidified her reputation as the 'First Lady of Country Music.' The song's enduring appeal lies in its universal theme and Wells' ability to translate a sophisticated composition into a relatable country narrative, cementing her legacy as a pioneer who expanded the genre's boundaries.
