Letra Satisfied Mind de The Ozark Mountain Daredevils original

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)
