Richest Man in the World


     D                G                 G
I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch
                   A        D
Eggs that are gonna hatch someday
                  G                     D
I got my Lord above and a good girl to love me
               G              D
I'm the richest man in the world
           D                        G             D
Thank you thank you Lord above for smiling down on me
                                   A        
I'm richer now than any man has any right to be
D           G           D              G           D
Health and love and happiness have been my cup of tea
                        E7         A        D
The richest man in all creation surely it is me

     D                 G              D
I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch...
                               E7           A
I've got water in my well and heaven in my heart
        D                  G                  D
I have a perfect woman I can trust when we're apart
             G        D                       A       
Cash enough to see a show and eat out now and then
       D               G               D       A    D
A roof a bed a fishing pole and folks who call me friend
            D          G                 D
I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch...
                   A         D
Eggs that are gonna hatch someday
                  G                D      A        
I don't have much bank account my cash on hand is small
  D             G                 D                A
But tell me what are riches but contentment after all
          D               G                     D 
Other folks may think I'm poor but I know it's not so
       D                                A             D
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...
