Lyrics
______________________________________________________________________

how many times

have you heard someone say

if I had his money

I'd do things my way

but little they know

that it's so hard to find

one rich man in ten

with a satisfied mind

once I was living

in fortune and fame

and all that I dreamed of

to get a start in life's game

then suddenly it happened

I lost every dime

but I'm richer by far

with a satisfied mind

'cause money won't buy back

the youth when you're old

or a friend when you're lonely

or a hearts that's grown cold

the wealthiest person

is a pauper at times

compared to the man

with a satisfied mind

(SLIDE GUITAR & HARP DITTY)

well, my life is ended

all timed but out

my friends and my loved ones

I'll even slow down

but there's one thing for certain

when it comes my time

I'll leave this old world

with a satisfied mind
