A D
I know momma loved me, I reckoned that dad
A E
Thought I was a pretty good kid
A D
I've been blamed but I'm not ashamed
E A
Of a couple of things I did
[Verse 2]
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
I just hope I mean somethin' to you
[Chorus]
D
What am I worth here on earth
A
Darling, if I can't have you
D
I just can't find no peace of mind
E
With anything that I do
[Verse 3]
I don't know why you make 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
(Instrumental)
[Verse 4]
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'd do
[Verse 5]
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 nothing to you
[Chorus]
D
What am I worth here on earth
A
Darling, if I can't have you
D
I just can't find no peace of mind
E
With anything that I do
[Verse 6]
I don't know why you make me cry
Darlin', 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
