You only wanted what money could buy, any trinket that sparkled would catch your
Green eyes I should have known better, but I loved you too much, and when you
Spent all my savings, love was not enough. If I were a drinker I'd be drunk
Tonight, and if'n I were a gambler, I'd bet my last dime, you're out with
Another, and you won't be home, but if I were a rich man you would'nt be gone. We
Used to go dancin' on saturday night you shined like a diamond underneath those
Blue lights you were a fools gold oh but I would soon learn I'd never make you
Happy with the money I earned. If I were a drinker, I'd be drunk tonight, and if'n
I was a gambler, lord I'd bet my last dime you're out with another, and you won't
Be home, but if I were a rich man you would'nt be gone
