As forty-two barrels of beautiful oil. I've been engaged for quite a spell She's a patient gal little Annabelle. But I'd better quit while I'm ahead She might marry-up with another instead. I'll say "Annabelle let's you an' me hitch." An' I know she will 'cause she wants to be rich.
[Chorus:] I get forty-two barrels of oil a day. Forty-two barrels an' man that ain't hay! I look out my window an' what do I see? An oil well a-pumpin' more money for me.
[Verse 4:] I went to the bank to start an account They asked me "How much?" I said "Name the amount." I brought it in boxes bags an' sacks Jars an' cases an' even in stacks. But to be perfectly honestly frank I had enough money to start my own bank. Well they counted an' counted an' finally said "We'll come to you the next time instead."
[Chorus:] Forty-two barrels of oil a day. Forty-two barrels an' man that ain't hay! I look out my window an' what do I see? An oil well a-pumpin' more money for me.
[Short instrumental break.]
[Verse 5:] Now I know that money isn't ever'thing It can buy you a car an' a big diamond ring. It can get you a saddle that's mounted in gold But can't give you love to have an' to hold. An' when you're alone on a cold winter's night You can't put your arms around [it] tight. So I'm mighty proud that Annabelle's true When she looks in my eyes an' says "I love you."
[Outro:] Forty-two barrels of oil a day. Forty-two barrels an' man that ain't hay! I look out my window an' what do I see? Money money money money for me!
