terri gibbs - rich man lyrics
i can still remember the morning in september
on the day i turned 16
i had a brand new dress and i guess that you could say that
i was looking like you know what i mean
my mama said “girl, i can see that you’re a woman
there’s something that i want you to know
i spent 27 years with a no income gambler
and we ain’t got nothing to show
you got to get yourself a rich man
you got to marry you a rich man
you got to live your life, if you wanna be a wife
i know you got to have love but it’s just as easy loving you a rich man
you got to get yourself a rich man
if you’re a poor man’s wife, you’ll live a poor man’s life
you can never get your hands on a dime
and you can sing thе blues and you can pay your dues
but you can nevеr pay the man on time
and you can look in the window but you can’t buy
you’ll be wishing in the palm of your hand
but there ain’t no reason for doing without
if you marry to the man who’s got the dollar in his hand
and that’s a rich man
you got to marry you a rich man
you’ve got to shop around and when you think you’ve found
the kind of fella you need to know you better check and see if he’s a rich man
you got to get yourself a rich man”
when i stop and think of all the places in the world
that i’d like to get a chance to see
of all the brand new cars and all the high class bars
out in the world just waiting for me
and i think about mama in her raggedy dress
out in the kitchen working down on her knees
then i make me a rule that no destitute fool’s
gonna ever put a ring on me
i’m gonna get myself a rich man
i’m gonna marry me a rich man
i’m gonna look so fine, i’m gonna take my time
i’m gonna fish in the sea, i’m gonna wait ’til i catch me a rich man
i’m gonna get myself a rich man
i’m gonna marry me a rich man
i’m gonna get myself a rich man
i’m gonna find me a rich man
i’m gonna have me a rich man
i’m gonna get myself a rich man
i’m gonna find me a rich man
