Drinking from the Saucer

 

I've never made a fortune,

And I'll never make one now.

But it doesn't really matter

Cause I'm happy anyhow.

As I go along my journey

I reaping better than I've sowed

I'm drinking from the saucer

Cause my cup has overflowed.

 

I don't have a lot of riches

And sometimes the going's tough,

But while I've got my kids to love me

I think I'm rich enough.

I'll just thank God for the blessings

That his mercy has bestowed.

I'm drinking from the saucer

Cause my cup has overflowed.

 

If you give me strength and courage

When the way grows steep and rough,

I'll not ask for other blessings

I'm already blessed enough.

May I never be too busy

To help bear another's load,

Then I'll be drinking from the saucer

Cause my cup has overflowed.
