I know momma loved me

I reckoned that dad

Thought I was a pretty good kid

I've been blamed but I'm not ashed

Of a couple of things I did



I learned the golden rule

Before I started to school

Like ever'y little young'n should do

But what am I worth on God's great earth

If I'm not worth nothing to you



What am I worth here on earth

Darling, If I can't have you

I just can't find no peace of mind

With anything that I do



I don't know why you made me cry

Honey, won't you give me a clue

What am I worth on God's great earth

If I'm not worth nothing to you



--- Instrumental ---



I might get sent to be president

If I'm sure I could do it for you

They would feature my face all over the place

For all the good thing I do



I might get my name in the hall of fame

Or even in the book of who's who

But what am I worth on God's great earth

If I'm mot worth nothin' to you



What am I worth here on earth

Darling, If I can't have you

I just can't find no peace of mind

With anything that I do



I don't know why you made me cry

Honey, won't you give me a clue

What am I worth on God's great earth

If I'm not worth nothing to you...
