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 ashed 
     E                  A 
Of a couple of things I did 
 
I learned the golden rule before I started to school 

Like ever'y little young'n should do 

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 
 
I don't know why you made 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 
 
Instrumental  
 
I might get sent to be president 
Yes, I'm sure I could do it for you 
They would feature my face all over the place  
For all the good thing 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 mot worth anything to you 
 
Chorus 
 
I don't know why you made me cry...
