If Teardrops Were Pennies lyrics

Song information

Artist: Loretta Lynn
Album: I Like 'em Country

Lyrics

1. and acrea of diamonds I'd offer to you
A solid gold manchion, an airplane or two
This world would be yours to have and to hold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

Chorus
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd have all the treasures a pocket could hold
I'd be, oh, so wealthy, with pleasures untold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

2. the tears that have fallen won't buy you a thing
The heartaches you've caused me won't pay for a ring
The love that I wanted, would not have grown cold
If teardrops were pennies, and heartaches were gold
