I reckon that that's cause
I learned the golden rule
before I started to school
Like every little young 'un 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
I don't know why you make 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?
I might get sent to be president
I'm sure I could do it for you
They would feature my face
For all the good things 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 not worth nothin' to you?
What am I worth here on earth,
darlin', if I can't have you?
I just can't find no peace of mind
I don't know why you make me cry,
honey, won't you give me a clue?
What am I worth on God's greater,
if I'm not worth nothin' to you?
