Satisfied Mind

Red Hayes / Jack Rhodes


How many times have you heard someone say,
"If I had his money, I would do things my way."
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

Chorus:
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old,
Or a friend when you're lonely, or a {love, heart} that's grown cold.
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

Once I was winning in fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game.
But suddenly it happened and I lost every dime,
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.

Chorus

When {my} life {has ended, is over}, my time has run out,
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt.
But one thing for certain.  When it comes my time,
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.

Chorus


Notes:

In an original copy of the sheet music for this song
that has a picture of Red Foley, who recorded it, on the
cover, what is shown hear is the Chorus is listed as just
the third verse.
