G            Em         Am 
There was a little girl I had planned to marry 
            D       G     
This was my love, I didn't want to share it 
               Em                 Am 
I thought that love would make my life bright and sunny 
                      D               G 
She said she couldn't love me cause I didn't have no money 
G       Em            Am  
So everyday I have to cry some 
     D             G 
Everyday I have to cry some 
        Em            Am 
Dry the water from my eye some 
     D             G 
Everyday I have to cry   
I had me a girl, I guess I really loved her 
Every night I was thinkin' of her 
But you can't mix love with money 
Cause if you do it's gonna hurt somebody 
 
Chorus 
 
Lord I know that I'm just a poor man 
But is it wrong to love cause I'm not a rich man 
Every time you mix love with money 
Every time it hurts somebody 
 
Chorus
