Empty Pocket Blues - Pete Seeger

I never had a pocket full of money,

I never had a ruby red ring,

All I ever had was you, babe,

To sit and listen to me sing.

I’ve got those blues,

Those empty pockets blues.

I never had a pocket full of money,

I never had a big Cadillac,

All I ever had was you, babe,

And that’s a fact.

I’ve got those blues,

Those empty pockets blues.

Oh, money, money, money, money

When will I make the grade?

I’m so broke that a dollar bill

Looks big as a window shade.

Now some say the blues are sorrowful,

Some say the blues are sad,

But when I sing the blues to you,

They come out feeling glad.

I’ve got those blues,

Those empty pockets blues
