What Am I Worth [Version 1] Songtext
von George Jones

I know momma loved me
I reckoned that dad
Thought I was a pretty good kid
I′ve been blamed but I'm not ashamed
Of a couple of things I did

I learned the golden rule
Before I started to school
Like every little young′n should do
I mean a lot to my mom and pop
But, just hope, I mean somethin' 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
But what am I worth, on God′s great earth
If I'm not worth nothin′ to you

I might get sent, to be president
I'm sure I could do it for you
They would feature my face, all over the place
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
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
′Cause, what am I worth, on God's great earth
If I′m not worth nothing to you
