Drinking from the Saucer

I've never made a fortune,
And I'll never make one now
But it really doesn't matter
Cause I am happy anyhow
As I go along my journey
I'm 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 rough
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 over flowed
If you gave me strength and courage
I'll not ask for other blessings
I'm already blest enough
My I never be to busy
To help anothers load
Then I'll be drinking from the saucer
Cause my cup has overflowed.
