I've never made a fortune
and it's probably too late now
but i dont worry about that much
I'm happy anyhow
as i go along life's journey
im reapin better than i sowed
im drinkin from a saucer
cause ma cup has overflowed
Aint got a lot of riches
sometimes the goings rough
but i got a lid that loves me
that makes me rich enough
i just thank God for his blessings
and the mercy he has bestowed
im drinkin for a saucer
cause ma cup has overflowed
and i remember time when things went wrong
and my faith got a little thin
but then all at once the dark clouds broke
and the old sun broke through again
so Lord, help me not to gripe
about the toughrows i have hoed
im drinkin for a saucer
cause ma cup has overflowed
And if God gives me the strength
and courage
when the way gets steeo and rough
i wont ask for other blessings
im already blessed enough
and may i never be too busy
to help another bear his load
then i'll keep drinking from
ma saucer
cause ma cup has overflowed!
