Richest Man (in The World) Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

One two three four one two three four 

I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch 

Eggs that are gonna hatch someday 

I got my 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 it is me 

I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch... 

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 who call me friend 

I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch... 

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 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... 

I got a humpack mule a plow and a tater patch...
