If I Only Had a Penny

(A special thanks to my friend, Frank, for playing his steel on this tune.)

Intro -4 bars-

If I only had a penny for each tear you made me cry
I would be the richest fool alive girl
Perhaps I'd be a millionaire until the day I die
If I only had a penny for each tear you made me cry

If I only had a penny for each night I've spent alone
Camped out on the sofa by the phone girl
I would have more money now than ma bell's ever known
If I only had a penny for each night I've spent alone

If I only had a penny a little bitty penny
If I only had a penny for each night I've spent alone

If I only had a penny for each time you made me blue
I would never work again it's true girl
Yeah I could really quit my job find something else to do
If I only had a penny for each time you made me blue.

If I only had a penny a little bitty penny
If I only had a penny for each night you made me blue

If I only had a penny for each tear you made me cry
I would be the richest fool alive girl
Perhaps I'd be a millionaire until the day I die
If I only had a penny for each tear you made me cry

If I only had a penny for each tear you made me cry
